My first diary entry (1994)

Age Fourteen.  A girl from Little Rock, Arkansas who has been transplanted upstate to the sparse town of Bentonville.  She's angry.  Anxious to start her life elsewhere.  She does battle with her mother nightly.  As the distant last child, she feels like her parents have forgotten her under the cloud of a struggling family business and the distractions of a four-year-old granddaughter.  She feels like she doesn't matter, and she remembers returning from a two-day field trip when her parents didn't notice she had even gone away to begin with.   In this isolation, the story begins...

Love,
Tiff
