Book Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography Louisa May Alcott is known universally. Yet during Louisa's youth, the famous Alcott was her father, Bronson—an eminent teacher and a friend of Emerson and Thoreau. He desired perfection, for the world and from his family. Louisa challenged him with her mercurial moods and yearnings for money and fame. The other prize she deeply coveted—her father's understanding—seemed hardest to win. This story of Bronson and Louisa's tense yet loving relationship adds dimensions to Louisa's life, her work, and the relationships of fathers and daughters.

Book Description
Excerpt from Amos Bronson Alcott: His Character, a Sermon I am gone. It was as his last will and testa ment, which as a legatee I receive, and as administrator I now try to fulfil. There is, let me say, to my thought, a singular pathos as well as confidence implied in this charge, or trust, - as though he who gave it would say, Whoever else 'has misunderstood or not understood, you have understood and can make others understand my message. Take it on a little further, then, with the accent of your voice and the telephone of your desk, just as those in the ring about a speaker convey his sense afterward to the outer edges of the deaf, unhearing crowd.
