From the author of Little Women: An American classic of young best friends in a rustic New England town. In post–Civil War New England, thirteen-year-old Jack Minot and Janey Pecq are inseparable best friends who live next door to each other in the town of Harmony Village. The pair does everything together—so much so that Janey is nicknamed “Jill” to fit the old children’s rhyme. One winter day, the friends share a sled down a treacherous hill and both end up injured and bedridden. Unable to go out and have fun, Jack, Jill, and their circle of friends begin to learn about more than the fun and games of their youth and discover what it means to grow up—exploring their town, their hearts, and the big, wide world beyond for the first time. This charming, wistful coming-of-age tale, written twelve years after Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women, examines the strange, tempestuous changes of adolescence with homespun heart and worldly wisdom.

Hi, my name is Jill. I've always wanted a small white dog and I found him online. He was about four-years-old and looked very sad, most likely because he had lived in icky conditions at a puppy mill until the Clark County Humane Society rescued him. This short story is about how I rescued Jack, my new best friend, and how together we rescued other dogs.

Jill is 35-45 lbs overweight, strong and healthy from outdoor work as a landscape architect and happy with herself as she is. Jack, a hunk, but if you got to know him, was a highly intelligent and decent man. Coming home one night, depressed, after another failed relationship with another Barbie doll, he goes onto his deck, takes his guitar and sings a love song to the starry night asking, crying for the universe to send him a soul-mate. The next morning, a fire breaks out in the kitchen of a woman in the district where Jack is assistant fire chief. The woman, noticing that Jack wore no wedding band, asked him if would consider a blind date with her close friend Jill. They meet: are chary at first, begin to open up to each other, no game-playing, discover the essence of each other and in 10 days of fun and sincere communication, they decide to marry. In Part 2, they really get to know each other, their friends and plan an off-the-wall wedding. In Part 3, a family and other off-the-wall stuff and making a good life.
