Daddy Long Legs is a beloved story in the spirit of Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, and Downton Abbey. This heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor charmed audiences of all ages from Los Angeles to London, when it made its musical debut. Critics called the story one of the most enthralling, entertaining, and moving love stories. And now, you can listen to the story told by the musical's Jerusha Abbott herself, Megan McGinnis.

Jerusha "Judy" Abbott's life is drastically changed one day when a mysterious and rich benefactor scoops her up from an orphanage - the only home she has ever known - and offers to pay her way through college. Her benefactor has many requests, the two most important being that she uses this opportunity to become a writer, and that she writes him monthly to update him on her studies.

First published in 1912, Daddy-Long-Legs is an epistolary novel that follows orphan Jerusha "Judy" Abbott through her college years through a series of letters written to her anonymous benefactor, whom she nicknames "Daddy-Long-Legs." As Judy learns to navigate the complex world of studies, social life, and romance, her letters convey her growth and address the increasingly complex questions that preoccupy her.

Jerusha Abbott is the oldest orphan in the John Grier Home. Every day she helps scrub and dress the younger children - all 97 of them. Soon she will graduate from high school and be on her own. Where will she go, and how will she support herself? When an anonymous wealthy donor decides to send her to college, Jerusha can hardly believe her good fortune. All she must do in return is send him a letter once a month. With all the excitement of college life - classes, parties, new friends, and a special gentleman - Jerusha can hardly stop writing!

Jerusha Abbott, who much prefers to be called Judy, has received the offer of a lifetime: an anonymous benefactor has chosen to pay for her college education, in return for monthly letters. As a poor orphan with nothing of her own—even her name was chosen at random by the matron of the orphanage—this is the chance to choose her own future. Through heartfelt, witty, and honest correspondence, Judy discusses her friendships, classes, triumphs, and failures. Along the way, Judy also encounters a relationship that was entirely unexpected.

Young orphan Judy Abbott’s life is turned upside down following an unexpected message. An anonymous benefactor has offered to pay for Judy to attend college on one condition – she must write to the mysterious donor every month to update them on her progress, and she must never know who they are.

Mischievous Jerusha Abbott corresponds with her unknown benefactor after she leaves the orphan asylum for college, expanding horizons and romance. This reading was selected as a Notable Children's Recording in 1989 by the American Library Association.
