A trustee from Judy's orphanage has offered to pay for her college. His requirements-he will remain anonymous and expects Judy to write him a letter once a month briefing him on her life at college. Most of the novel comprises of Judy's letter to her benefactor, whom she calls "Daddy-Long-Legs". The letters are humorous and full of voice.
I was excited to highly recommend this book to moms with preteens/teens but since I do not agree with the worldviews espoused----I am not.
Considerations: She "learns" at college that the Garden of Eden is a myth & that people were once monkeys. Throughout the book she does not have a high opinion on church and pastors. When someone give glory to for a wonderful event, she denies it is Him and points to how the different humans caused it to occur. Mr. Jervis, a man who befriends her, is a socialist. She wants to be a socialist too.
