Jerusha "Judy" Abbott, an orphan from the John Grier Home, is sent to college by an anonymous trustee. He wants her to be educated to be an authoress. The only stipulation is that she must write a letter each month to him about her studies.
This book is composed entirely of the letters written by Judy other than the prologue that sets the story up. It's interesting to see what college life was like in the 1900s for women. It was also interesting to see how the one-sided relationship through letters changed over the course of the four years of college. The book was also made into a movie starring Fred Astaire.
