PAW Features Eve Laplante's New Book

The March 6, 2013 issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly has a "Reading Room" feature on Eve Laplante and her recent book Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother. The article says,

In previous biographies, Eve LaPlante ’80 has mined her family history for ancestors such as the Puritan colonist Anne Hutchinson and the Salem, Mass., witch judge Samuel Sewall. LaPlante always had planned a third biography on perhaps her most famous relative, novelist Louisa May Alcott, but hadn’t found a fresh angle on the writer ofLittle Women. Then LaPlante, with her daughter, started digging through her mother’s attic, where they discovered some May and Alcott family papers, including letters written by Louisa’s mother, Abigail May Alcott.
