Daddy-Long-Legs
Jerusha Abbott has grown up in an orphanage until an anonymous benefactor offers to pay for college on the condition that she write him regular letters. Her correspondence records classes, friendships, social discovery, and the gradual development of a literary voice she did not know she possessed. The identity and age difference of her patron complicate the romance as Jerusha learns to want a future on her own terms. Charming and epistolary, this classic is a cozy school-year read for anyone who enjoys writing, independence, secret benefactors, and a heroine building a self beyond institutional labels.
