Dear Enemy

When Sallie McBride reluctantly becomes superintendent of the John Grier Home, she expects trouble—and gets plenty. In lively letters, she describes the children, the staff, and her clashes with Dr. Robin MacRae, even as the bleak institution slowly begins to change. As Sallie throws herself into the work, her wit, honesty, and growing care for the children reshape both the home and her own heart. This spirited classic blends humor, warmth, and a tender romance with a satisfying story of service and self-discovery.
