Westport Author Highlights Life of Louisa May Alcott

Westport author Michaela MacColl today spoke about her sixth book, “The Revelation of Louisa May,” a fictional biographical adventure of the teen years of Louisa May Alcott, at the Westport Library’s annual Middle School Book Expo.  In the book, Louisa May Alcott, the future author of “Little Women” and other books and stories, lives with her parents and two sisters in the small town of Concord. Her father, Bronson Alcott, is a writer, speaker and believer in self-reliance, but he barely makes enough money to keep his family alive. MacColl describes her series of novels, aimed at young adult audiences as “literary and biographical intertwined with mystery.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
