The Inheritance was Louisa May Alcott's first novel, but was published last. (Yes, a little odd, I know) It tells the story of Edith and James Percy (affectionately known by us as J.P). Edith is a poor orphan, a companion to her patroness' daughter, Amy; while James Percy is a wealthy gentleman who's not full of himself like another character we know of (at this point, you may check in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and find someone named Mr. D). Everything goes nicely... until... some money is stolen by someone with ulterior motives. It is not the money said person is after, but to shame an innocent, sweet child we all know and love. If you happened to guess, we mean Edith!!! There! We SPOILED a perfectly wholesome novel. And now we shall attempt to spoil the last two pages: Edith and J.P. live happily ever after............ and Lord Arlington- wait, you don't know about Lord Arlington?!?!? Well, he's the rascal who, um... well, you have to read about it; we're not going to spoil everything. Have we intrigued you enough? We might be lying, you know... naw, we wouldn't do that... or would we? You never know who or what could pop up when you read Louisa May Alcott's The Inheritance.

Rating~ ****** Tiffani says she'd "give it an eight if it were eight out of ten! I'd give it a five, not a six, because of the same certain person as above.. but we don't want to give everything away.. just... most of it":-)
