Judy Abbott grows up in an orphanage and her life changes when an anonymous benefactor decides to pay for her college education.

A suitable read for young readers and for those who want to rediscover a classic of youth fiction.
Jean Webster was the pen name of Alice Jane Chandler Webster, an American author whose books include Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers.
