How did Louisa May Alcott just WRITE that.
I guess the short answer is actually the most telling answer, which is just that she lived it. Doesn't that say it all? Doesn't that explain how it could possibly feel so, so true to everyone who watches it. It's crazy. It's crazy that she was given this story that so many people can find themselves within. It's so *** beautiful that I want to add an expletive there for emphasis and don't even know which one would work for me to choose. Just so, so beautiful. Almost painfully so.
