Do you have a book that you can read over and over
again yet you never get bored or tired reading it? For
me, I can read "Daddy long legs" by Jean Webster times
over and I won't be bored of it. Simply a classic!
It's about an orphan girl named Jerusha Abbot a.k.a
Judy, who grew up in an Orphanage. When her talent for
writing was admired by one of the trustees; who then decided to support her to continue her studies in Highschool.
Fell in love with a rich guy who was like more than a decade
her senior in age,Jervis Pendleton. From a poor girl in an
orphanage to a beautiful, successful and independant woman.
Simply inspiring.
So this story is mainly about how Judy overcame her fear
of her past. She was afraid that people would know that she
came from an orphanage. Also about her fight to gain
independence. The thing that I really admire in this character
is that, she is determined to get what she wants and persistant in
reaching her goals and dreams. Besides that, I just love
the romance in it. :)
