About this book
Told through letters, this epistolary novel follows Sallie McBride as she reluctantly takes charge of the John Grier orphanage, chronicling her efforts to reform it and her exchanges with a local doctor. It suits readers of classic literature who enjoyed its companion volume, *Daddy-Long-Legs*.

Jean Webster

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.
