- Summary
- Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love.

Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself - because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of - a woman with a future
