My grandmother's diary -- word for word, spelling for spelling, thought for thought, idea for idea -- just as she originally wrote it back in 1944 and '45. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the life of an 11-year-old Swiss girl in Berne, Indiana.

That was interesting. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if she kept on writing year after year and gave you a bigger glimpse into her life? But even a little is wonderful!
Wouldn't that have been wonderful? I wish she had! But I do agree with you, even a little is wonderful. It sure gives me a picture of my grandma at that age, a very interesting insight into her character. :)
