description: Excerpts from Alcott's journals and letters, in which she ruminates on both her personal life and her literary career. Includes poetry, conversations with her sisters, and negotiations with editors. Alcott destroyed material she thought too personal in her journals and many of her letters, but sufficient content remains to show the talent and influences which produced some of America's favorite stories.
