"It's interesting that Jo March in "Little Women" was very much Louisa May Alcott herself. This is just a collection of 4 short stories or "thrillers" written by Alcott. Ghosts, scorned lovers and hidden pasts are the themes of these stories and they certainly aren't as wholesome or lovable as her classic Little Women, but fun to read nevertheless."
