    Summary

    Years after rejecting his proposal, Jo March marries her best friend, Theodore Laurence, in a moment of grief and loneliness.
    But marriage is not the remedy either of them hoped it would be. Set against the backdrop of the Laurence manor’s quiet opulence, this introspective tale explores a love that arrives too late—or perhaps just in time. As Jo struggles with identity, grief, and the ghosts of her past, she and Laurie must navigate the unspoken distance between them, learning that love, when tangled with memory and pride, is far more complex than either imagined.
