"I wasn�t the only one telling a story. My anonymous Mrs. Moneybags tried to hide from me. Too bad I�m smart, Mrs. M, and I got you figured. But know what? I can keep your secrets. You and me�we made it work."
Benjamin Evans takes charge of younger siblings, but still finds some time for college--especially after he receives an offer of a full scholarship. The deal is he must share details about school and some private facts about his life. As he talks into the recorder over the months, Ben's curiosity about his sponsor increases.
From Romantic Times:
This is a sweet, funny and emotional tale. This modern take on Daddy-Long-Legs, by Jean Webster, has wonderful, fully developed characters... This incredible story will appeal to adult as well as young readers. 4.5 stars
4.5 stars!
Thank You, Mrs. M. is a wonderful read...This is a poignant and enjoyable read. --Night Owl Reviews
A thoughtful and really interesting re-imagining of how the classic story Daddy Long Legs might play out in today's world. There are light homages to the original, which add a bit of extra glow to the romance if you're a fan, but what really made the story for me were the differences.
