Book summary

Zlata Filipovic, a Croatian, started writing in her diary in October, 1991, just before her 11th birthday. Her entries about the normal concerns of a girl her age suddenly change as the bombs start to fall on Sarajevo, and the diary becomes a chronicle of the horror and destruction around her. Continuing to write in her diary until she is 13, Zlata tries to go on with her life in war-torn Sarajevo, and her record of the war brings home the horrors for all the world to hear.
