The journal of a young writer beginning her career in New York City in the 1920's, climaxed by her marriage to a young engineer and the beginning of a new life in England in 1929.
Drawing on her diaries and journals written from the time she was 12 until she was almost 20, the author depicts her life as daughter of a well-to-do-upstate New York family and her determination to become a writer despite her family's objections.
