Little Women Book Notes Summary

Amy doesn't like being sent away. Aunt March makes her work around the house, and Amy takes Jo's place in attending to her Aunt. Esther, a French woman and servant of Aunt March's, is the only person who takes notice of Amy. She showed Amy the treasures which belong to Aunt March.

Esther says that it would be good for Amy to pray for her sister and father each day and sets up a little closet as a chapel for Amy. "The little girl was very sincere in all this, for being left alone outside the safe home nest, she felt the need of some kind hand to hold by so sorely that she instinctively turned to the strong and tender Friend, whose fatherly love most closely surrounds his little children." Chapter 19, pg. 227 Amy begins to spend time in her chapel each day and is very obedient and well-behaved. She decides to make a will, saying what she will leave to her sisters in case that she dies. She has Laurie witness it.
