Regina is Diana's beloved grandmother. A spirited woman who loves her, cares for her, even teaches her to type her first stories on a Remington typewriter, when Regina inexplicably takes her own life at age sixty-one, ten-year-old Diana is devastated. Three decades later, Diana discovers Regina's secret diary and learns all about her grandmother's life -- from the tragic death of her mother when Regina was twelve through her years of suffering in Vienna during World War I and finally her immigration to the United States. Diana's reflections are interspersed with excerpts from Regina's diary. This braided narrative presents a touching portrait of the relationship between Diana and Regina, their past and present, their love and losses, and the discovery of their shared legacy.
