Louisa May Alcott's name is known universally. Yet, during her
youth, the famous Alcott was her father, Bronson an eminent
teacher, lecturer, and admired friend of Emerson and Thoreau.
Willful and exuberant, Louisa flew in the face of all her father's
intricate theories of child rearing. She, in turn, could not
understand the frugal life Bronson preached, one that reached its
epitome in the failed utopian community of Fruitlands. In a family
that insisted on self-denial and spiritual striving, Louisa dreamed
of wealth and fame. At the same time, like most daughters, she
wanted her father's approval. As her father struggled to recover
from a breakdown and slowly resurrect his career, Louisa learned to
support her family, teaching if she must, but finally finding her
vocation in writing. This story of their tense yet loving
relationship adds dimensions to Louisa's life, her work, and the
relationships of fathers and daughters."
