Book Description
What would it be like to read the complete story of your life, written truthfully by an all-knowing author? Would you still choose to read it if you had to live knowing exactly how every decision would end, leaving no room for hope or surprises?
Judy Abbott is a determined young orphan who manages to bridge the enormous gap separating her from girls raised in ordinary, loving families. Her life changes when an anonymous trustee offers to send her to college, asking only that she write him regular letters.
Although Judy receives help from her mysterious benefactor, whom she calls “Daddy Long Legs,” she uses the opportunity without becoming dependent on him. Through academic excellence, a promising writing career, and a strong commitment to repaying his generosity, she builds an independent life of her own.
Told mainly through Judy’s letters, Daddy Long Legs is a classic novel about education, ambition, self-discovery, gratitude, and personal independence.
Daddy Long Legs is available in Lebanon at Oro Library, with delivery to all regions.
