Four sisters and their mother, whom they call Marmee, live in a new neighborhood (loosely based on Concord) in Massachusetts in genteel poverty. Having lost all his money, their father is serving as a chaplain in the American Civil War, far from home. The mother and daughters face their first Christmas without father. When Marmee asks them to give their Christmas breakfast away to an impoverished and starving family, the girls venture into town laden with baskets to feed the hungry family. When they return they find their elderly neighbor Mr. Laurence, has sent over a decadent surprise breakfast. The two families become acquainted following these acts of kindness.
