'Vadertje Langbeen' Summary
'Vadertje Langbeen' vertelt het verhaal van Jerusha Abbott, een wees die opgegroeid is in een somber weeshuis. Op haar achttiende mag ze naar de universiteit dankzij een anonieme weldoener. Ze moet hem elke maand een brief schrijven en noemt hem, vanwege zijn lange benen, 'Vadertje Langbeen'. In haar brieven beschrijft Jerusha haar leven op de universiteit, haar nieuwe vrienden, haar dromen en haar twijfels. Haar openhartige brieven vormen de basis voor een bijzondere band met haar benefactor. Jerusha groeit op tijdens haar studie en ontwikkelt een sterke persoonlijkheid. Ze leert de waarde van vriendschap, liefde en de kracht van haar eigen potentieel kennen. De identiteit van Vadertje Langbeen blijft echter een mysterie. Zal Jerusha ooit ontdekken wie hem haar kansen heeft geschonken en met wie ze zo'n bijzondere band heeft opgebouwd?Book Details
