{"product_id":"so-many-beginnings-39971","title":"So Many Beginnings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis novel re-envisions Little Women, as part of the Remixed Classics series.  North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedpeople's Colony of Roanoke Island is blossoming, a haven for the recently emancipated. Black people have begun building a community of their own, a refuge from the shadow of the \"old life.\" It is where the March family has finally been able to safely put down roots with four young daughters:  Meg, a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own.  Jo, a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained.  Beth, a talented seamstress searching for a higher purpose.  Amy, a dancer eager to explore life outside her family's home.  As the four March sisters come into their own as independent young women, they will face first love, health struggles, heartbreak, and new horizons. But they will face it all together.  This book celebrates the power of Black girls and families. It would be well-paired with Legendborn for units that explore intertextuality and re-envision classic stories through a marginalized lens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43665494802492,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781250761217.jpg?v=1762991283","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/so-many-beginnings-39971","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
