Faced with genteel poverty, the fledgling author, Jo March, is struggling to make a name for herself in male-dominated New York City; considerate Meg is now married, and the artistically inclined, Amy, is in Paris with their affluent Aunt March. However, the news of talented Beth's illness will reunite the sisters under the same roof. But, more than anything in the world--much to the disappointment of the handsome next-door neighbor, Theodore "Laurie" Laurence--the fiercely independent Jo yearns for freedom. Must all stories end with a wedding? Free for Miltonvale Park Residents, by donation for others. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3281548/ #11 on Rotten Tomatoes’ list of best 100 Christmas movies!
