520    May Alcott spends her days sewing blue shirts for Union 
       soldiers, but she dreams of painting a masterpiece -- 
       which many say is impossible for a woman -- and of finding
       love, too. When she reads her sister's wildly popular 
       novel, Little Women, she is stung by Louisa's portrayal of
       her as "Amy," the youngest of four sisters who trades her 
       desire to succeed as an artist for the joys of hearth and 
       home. Determined to prove her talent, May makes plans to 
       move far from Massachusetts and make a life for herself 
       with room for both watercolors and a wedding dress. Can 
       she succeed? And if she does, what price will she have to 
       pay? Based on May Alcott's letters and diaries, as well as
       memoirs written by her neighbors, Little Woman in Blue 
       puts May at the center of the story she might have told 
       about sisterhood and rivalry in an extraordinary family.
