Jo is a highly successful children's author, but her first attempt at writing for a slightly older audience doesn't appeal to the publisher. She's given two weeks to come up with something new. The problem is, it's Christmas and she's heading home to celebrate with her three sisters, so she’s forced to combine the holiday with developing a new concept. In the meantime, the publisher sends Fritz, one of their editors, to support Jo in coming up with a better idea. He travels there but misses the chance to explain why he’s there, and instead becomes acquainted with Jo, whose sisters encourage her to spend time with Fritz.
Allegedly based on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, but apart from the sisters' names, it seems to have very little in common with it (I haven’t read the book, though…). Perhaps there is nothing particularly wrong with the film as such, but I soon grew tired of the overwhelming amount of charitable work and references to God. It all just became a bit too much.
