Daddy-Long-Legs follows the protagonist, Jerusha Judy Abbott, as she leaves an orphanage and is sent to college by a benefactor whom she has never met. The first chapter introduces the background of the story. Judy is noticed and subsidized by a secret trustee of the orphanage because of her talent in writing. If Judy wants to get the funds, she must write a letter about her life and studies to this trustee every month, and never expect a reply. Judy only captures a glimpse of this trustee’s back view and knows he is a tall long-legged man. Therefore, she jokingly names him Daddy-Long-Legs. The second chapter composes of numerous letters written by Judy to her imaginary Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs. She finds it surprising when the true identity of Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs is finally revealed.
Under the pen of the author, Judy is reflective, optimistic, and hard-working. She tries her best to face the challenge of growing up on her own. Through the story of Jerusha Judy Abbott, the author aspires to encourage readers to be positive and brave to embrace life.
