Summary

This delightful sequel to Webster's Daddy Long-Legs centers on socialite Sallie McBride, who reluctantly agrees to become director of an orphan asylum. The asylum's benefactors, her friends Judy and Jervis Pendleton, insist she is just the person to institute the sweeping reforms the institution needs. The exuberant Sallie soon begins ruffling feathers of the staff, filling the children's lives with hope and love, and locking horns with the new Scotch doctor, the Dear Enemy of the title.

This is not unabridged and I just noticed because I had read the novel before. When I finished listening to the audiobook I had to go and find on my paperback the parts of the novel that I remembered and were missing in the audiobook, just in case I was going crazy.
I was disappointed. Just don't say it's unabridged if it is not.

liked the reader. nice use of vocal expression as the book is a series of letters If could be tedious if not read well. As others have mentioned has out dated content re: attitude to hereditary but hey the world has moved on since this book was written and it has to be listened to in that aspect. Enjoyed the characters and story.

an oldie but a goodie
