So Many Beginnings follows the classic sisters we know and love: Meg, Beth, Jo, and Amy. Only this time the story has been remixed to set the sisters, now recently emancipated in the midst of the Civil War rather than after it like the original story. Meg, the teacher, is dying to get married. Beth, the seamstress, tries to find the good in all things. Jo, the writer, is the voice of Civil War Era Blacks. Amy, the dancer, is spoiled but always speaks her mind. Together they navigate their personal lives coupled with the weight of the crimes committed against their people. The story is slightly changed from the original, but I think Morrow does a really good job of staying true to the characters. The change that surprised me most, which I won't spoil here, was a pretty dramatic change made to the story that had nothing to do with changing the race of the characters. All in all, this was a unique perspective on a classic story that couldn't have come at a better time.
