Summary
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!
Jean Webster’s entertaining tale of a high-spirited orphan girl coming-of-age in the early 1900s has been made into a play, several movies, and a musical comedy. Kate Forbes’ fresh portrayal of Jerusha will win the hearts of a new generation of readers.

The joy and excitement of the main character
Not much to dislike - good wholesome story. Easy to guess how it will end, but that doesn’t really spoil the listening

A really charming story
A charming early 20th century story, whimsical, witty & original. It was beautifully narrated, very sympathetic to the tone of the text.

OK
This was an unusual listen...a trifle predictable
The narrator was very good - just right for this book and performed it well.
Would I listen again? No. Would I try any other books by this author? No.
Would I listen to this narrator again? Yes
