First of all, I love the aspect of mystery it gives at the beginning. After one of the main characters, Regan, finds

  The House by Amelia Ott When I was first made, In me, a couple stayed. Then before I knew, I watched as their family grew. I witnessed a baby's first steps, As it laughed, and as it wept. I was shelter during a hurricane. I've withstood wind, and I've encountered rain. I've seen happiness, and I've seen grief. I've hosted streamers, and I've hosted wreaths. I watched as the couple grew old, And soon enough, I was sold.  And though it grieves me to this day, As I watched that couple drive away, And though they left me all alone, I'll wait for another to call me home. -Amelia

           Little Women is a lovely fictional story about four sisters and their different experiences in their lives. As you read about  the life of the March family, you'll discover the hardships, joy, grief, love, and laughter the sisters encountered as they lived life as "little women."     There are plenty of difficulties in the March sisters' lives, with their father at war, and not enough money; even if it's just to buy Christmas presents. Despite these obstacles, there are good things too, like singing hymns, and putting on Christmas plays. The March sisters; Meg, Joe, Beth, and Amy; each have their own faults whether it's being selfish, or caring too much about her looks, but by following their "guidebooks" (the Bible) they grow in love and faith, learning all the while how to be good, and faithful  "little women."     This is a very good book that I would definitely recommend reading. Before reading this book though, it's good
