Rose in Bloom
About this audiobook
Everyone seems to think lovely, wealthy Rose Campbell should get married. Everyone, that is, except Rose.
In this sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose returns to the Aunt Hill after two years of traveling around the world. Suddenly, she is surrounded by male admirers. But before she marries anyone, Rose is determined to establish herself as an independent young woman. To begin with, she is learning that riches do not bring happiness in themselves. She is also beginning to suspect that some of her friends like her more for her money than for herself. With the support of her family, Rose sets out to untie the complications of young womanhood.

About the author
Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) was brought up in Pennsylvania, USA. She turned to writing in order to supplement the family income and had many short stories published in magazines and newspapers. She was reluctant to write a children's book but then realized that in herself and her three sisters she had the perfect models. The result was Little Women (1868) which became the earliest American children's novel to become a classic.
