About this book

After two years of travelling in Europe, Rose Campbell returns to The Aunt Hill. No longer a girl, she grew up to be a young woman old enough to consider marriage. She enjoys the frivolous pleasures of high society and parties, before settling on philanthropy as a career. Her independence is worth more to her than thoughts of marriage. But Rose is courted by several men, including her irresponsible cousin Charlie and her quiet cousin Mac. She must choose the life she wants for herself, and grow into the woman she wishes to become. In this coming of age story, sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose has now grown into a young woman who learns important lessons about herself and the world around her. Louisa May Alcott, the author of this novel, has also written Little Women, so she knows about depicting women’s lives in the 19th century. Don’t wait and meet the kind and thoughtful Rose Campbell!
