An mga opinyon ni Bronson Alcott sa edukasyon asin an saiyang mga maiisog na pagtubod sa pagpadakula nin aki, kasabay an saiyang problemang mental ang nakatabang sa paghubog kan pagiisip ni Louisa na magibo nin mga perpektong bagay asin magi man na sarong transendentalista. An pagaprobar kan saiyang ama sa saiyang maiisog asin independenteng pag-iisip, asin ang kakulangan kani sa pagutob kan pangangaipo kan pamilya an nagkwasa nin problema sa pagitan kan saiyang ama laban sa saiyang ina asin mga tugang. 

Kan 1840, matapos an pirang pagkaproblema sa eskwelahan kan saiyang ama, an pamilya Alcott naglipat na sa sarong harong na nasa 2 ektarya (0.81 ha) na daga. Tulong taon sinda sa nirentahan na Hosmer Cottage na inaapod na idyllic.

Naglipat sinda sa saindang harong na inapod nindang "Hillside" kan Abril 1, 1845, pero naglipat man sinda kan 1852, asin an harong pinabakal kay Nathaniel Hawthorne na pinangaran man nin "The Wayside." Sa paglipat-lipat nin 22 beses sa laog kan 30 taon, an mga Alcott nagbalik sa Concord kan 1857, asin naglipat sa Orchard House kan 1858.
