It begins as the day-to-day record of the life of a typical eleven-year-old girl, preoccupied by piano lessons and birthday parties. But as war engulfs Sarajevo, Zlata Filipovic becomes a witness to food shortages and the deaths of friends and learns to wait out bombardments in a neighbor's cellar. Yet throughout she remains courageous and observant. The result is a book that has the power to move and instruct readers a world away.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZlata Filipovic wrote her diary between September 1991 and October 1993.
