Features: A work filled with humor and warmth, praised by readers from 10 to 101 years old! This book is a sequel to Annie, originally titled Dear Enemy. The main character is played by Sally Maguire, but the absent-minded Mr. and Miss Chappis from the first book remain active in the story through letters sent by Sally. In the first book, Judy wrote to the Man with the Iron Heart in a one-sided correspondence; in this one, Sally's letters are addressed to multiple recipients. While Sally's primary correspondent is Judy, her romantic life also occupies a significant part of the plot. Sally and her "Dear Enemy," Dr. Mark, go from mutual misunderstanding to falling in love, dedicating themselves selflessly to the orphanage. In the end, the two will walk through life hand in hand, a conclusion that readers can easily deduce from the explicit hints in the book.
