Diary Of A Shy Girl
As an adolescent girl, I always wanted to be like the other kids. I wanted to live life as they did. I admired the relationship they had with their parents, and I longed for the same closeness they shared. I was looking for someone who was like me, who dealt with parent absenteeism, did not go through the natural bonding experience as a child, and struggled with adapting to change.
The extent to which this impacted me only became clear when puberty came. I had developed an ulcer by age twelve. I struggled to find my identity among my peers. I wished I could be free like the other kids who were allowed to go out and date. I admired the popular girls but could only dream of being like them.
There was a time I would never have thought of publishing a memoir. As I grew into adulthood and reread my childhood diary, I became more open to the idea. Between the pages of this book is a story about youth, growing up, faith, and a search for God. In writing it, I have shared a synopsis in time; an account that is personal, candid, solemn, and amusing.
