Eighteen-year-old Jerusha Abbott has spent her entire life in the bleak confines of the John Grier Home orphanage. Her future seems predetermined until a mysterious trustee, impressed by her writing, offers to fund her college education. The sole condition is that Jerusha must write him monthly letters detailing her experiences, though he will never reply.

With only a glimpse of his tall, shadowy figure, Jerusha nicknames her unknown benefactor "Daddy-Long-Legs" and embarks on a journey into a new world of academics, friendships, and self-discovery. Her witty, observant letters chronicle her transformation from an isolated orphan to a confident young woman, exploring the power of education and the complexities of finding one's place.
