Beautiful Amy March, the youngest March sister, is a talented artist. Everyone praises her lifelike portraits. The one person she can't draw is herself. So when a photographer's studio opens in town, Amy is thrilled. Now her pretty curls and piercing eyes can be captured forever in a photograph. A photograph costs quite a bit of money- more than Amy has, and more than her parents can give her. Amy thinks of a clever way to come up with the money...and soon she has enough. But Amy decides to spend her savings on a gift for her father- a gift that will warm his heart when he's far away from home, and ultimately brings Amy an unexpected gift in return.
