The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

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.

The sequel to Daddy-Long-Legs finds Judy Abbott's best friend, Sallie McBride, taking total control over the John Grier Home, the orphanage where Judy grew up. Chronicling her hilarious yet heartfelt day-to-day interactions with the permanent residents of the John Grier Home, Sallie spills her heart out in letter after letter to multiple recipients, including the doctor of the JGH - one Robin MacRae, whom she has deemed her enemy and refers to him as such in her letters.
