Description
Zlata Filipovic began her diary in September 1991, just before her eleventh birthday, recording the typical concerns of a girl her age: piano lessons, birthday parties, and grades at school. But as war engulfs Sarajevo, the things she writes about change: the deaths of friends, food shortages, and days spent waiting out bombardments in a neighbor's cellar. Yet throughout, Zlata herself remains observant and courageous.
