A heart-warming, tear-inducing read as always. I've forgotten how wonderfully sweet this story is, and after re-reading it have been thoroughly reminded of why it has always been my favorite book; the story of the March sisters, and their dear friend Laurie, always holding a special place in my heart. It's an inspirational story with much in the way of solid advice that can be used to help one through many a tough spot in life. Yet even more than that it's a sweet reminder of the importance of family, love, and true happiness. I have read this book at least 10 times since I was in 4th grade. I love it. It made me realize my passion for writing.
