When Rose's guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad, he takes over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing, she becomes happier and healthier while finding her place in her family of seven boy cousins and numerous aunts and uncles. She also makes friends with Phebe, her aunts' young housemaid, whose cheerful attitude in the face of poverty helps Rose to understand and value her own good fortune.
Written by Louisa May Alcott, Rose in Bloom involves the story of a nineteenth-century girl, Rose Campbell, finding her way in society. It is the sequel to Eight Cousins.
