Mr. Bow Tie: A Contemporary Retelling of the Daddy Long Legs Story
Alice PatronIf she could see his face, would she still tell him all of her secrets?
Jessie Whiting is the first in her family to go to college thanks to the Scholarship for Change. The only catch? The eccentric, anonymous donor who chose her for the scholarship requires that she write once a semester to keep him up to date on how her education is helping her with the task of making a difference in the world.
After receiving no replies from her benefactor, Jessie knows no one, especially a billionaire with much better things to do, would actually be interested in reading about her life, so she uses the emails as a journal of her college years. But when she tells Mr. Bow Tie about her dating life, suddenly she is not so sure the man on the other side of the emails isn’t reading about and invested in her life after all.
Mr. Bow Tie is a contemporary retelling of the classic love story Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. If you loved the wit, charm, and fun of the original, you will be entranced by this delightful retelling.
