Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies.

Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant.
