The boys of Joe - Louisa May Alcott

The book "The Children of Jo" traces the lives of the Marsh girls, alongside Jo's children — and her daughters — who grew up in her school, although some of them found a path far removed from the old Lemuel Field's path. Like the previous part - "Little Men" - the author depicts the lives of her heroes after ten years have passed, and the young men and women have become trying to carve their own paths and explore the world in their own way, but they still need the care of Mother Baer and her advice to stay on the right track, and to succeed in passing the tests that life rains down on them, aided by their trust in the safe haven they turn to in every hardship. Mrs. Jo Baer realized that her own test was not easy either after her children, as she calls them, grew up. She, like them, needs patience, wisdom, and insight to be able to give sound advice to them, knowing full well the weight of the responsibility on her shoulders, and realizing that she would not have succeeded in this difficult task without her husband and family’s faith in her and her mission.
