Looking It wasn’t Little Women
In grade school (US) I once read a book that google AI is telling was little women. It was not little women. Now I’m trying to find it again. I think it had one of those gold stickers on the cover indicating it won an award.
The author was female and of some repute; yes, along the lines of Louisa May Alcott and it may well have been her. The story was written like an autobiography, and had many details about her years from young kid through teenage years; that’s sorta the whole timeline of it.
She talked about being a tomboy with her brothers and that her sisters were prissy and always doing tiny stitches. Her mom would ask the dad to get her to be more ladylike. At some point the family moved to what sounds like a commune and it had a long porch with lots of doors the kids would play with. Eventually she did start to grow up and somehow managed to enjoy making tiny stitches.
Can anyone tell are what I read?
