What this book is about
Jerusha Abbott, an orphan who has aged out of the orphanage, receives a scholarship from a mysterious trustee who asks only that she write him letters—which he will never answer. Jean Webster's 1912 epistolary novel follows Jerusha (now 'Judy') through her college years via her one-sided correspondence. Charming, funny, and warm.
