About this book

Daddy-Long-Legs.. a journey between lines of longing and self-search. In the cold corners of John Grier orphanage, begins the story of a little girl who dreamed of a world wider than the walls containing her. Judy Abbott, the wide-imagined orphan, suddenly finds herself before an exceptional educational opportunity offered by an anonymous donor known only as Daddy-Long-Legs. Through her lively life-filled monthly letters, we watch Judy's world gradually expanding beyond the orphanage walls. We share her first discoveries of college, her daily struggles, her literary ambitions, and her adventures in the writing world. Every letter opens us a window onto her active mind, cheerful spirit, and big dreams. What makes this work uniquely literary is the utmost honesty in portraying the heroine's development. We watch Judy transform from a girl drowned in the orphanage into a promising writer seeking her place in the world. The pages brim with laughter moments, tears, discoveries, and human moments touching the heart. Between the lines.
