My Arch-Enemy | Jean Webster

"Dear Enemy" is the sequel to Jean Webster's masterpiece "Daddy-Long-Legs," first published in 1915, and among the top ten best-selling books in the United States in 1916.
Like its first part, this novel consists of a series of letters, but this time they are written by Sally McBride, Judy Abbott's closest friend, who, as the reader will realize from the beginning, was entrusted with the task of managing the John Grier Home, to supervise its reform, and to get rid of the old policies that made
the orphanage a stale and dreary place.

From Sally McBride's initial panic upon taking on the task until the end of the work, the reader follows, with inspiration and passion, the gentle feminine power and its influence in reshaping the self and the world.

This is a novel about growth, change, initiative, and saving the world with a series of small steps moving in the right direction. As we see the John Grier Home grow into a place filled with light, we will see the young orphanage director, Sally McBride, transform from a pampered girl with superficial interests into a mature woman and capable executive.
This is an inspiring novel that we all need to read to remember our rightful place in the world and act accordingly. But those who need to read it most are young people, because it would be wonderful to go into the future with skilled hands and a well-used mind, for this world we live in needs many hands and minds, "
