After a terrible battle in a neighbour town, the Confederates pass through their town and burn it. Over the ruins of their house the March family also learn that the factory in which their father invested all his money has been burnt too.

The girls try to adjust to their new life, face many hardships, meet new friends and wish to the war to be over at last.
