The Diary Eileen Goudge Unabridged edition

When the two grown daughters of Elizabeth Marshall discover an old diary of their mothers in her attic, it comes as a shock to learn that the true love of Elizabeths life was not their father. But is all as it seems? Thats the mystery the two daughters must unravel as they stay up late reading the words penned by Elizabeth so long ago. Their mother cant give them answers; after a massive stroke, she lies mute and near death in a nursing home. Only the pages of her diary can provide clues to what really happened. Did Elizabeth marry their father, Bob, out of a sense of obligation rather than love? What happened to the mysterious A. J. and who ignited Elizabeths passions as a young woman in the small town of Emory, Nebraska? In a richly detailed journey into the past, we see Elizabeth lose her heart to one man while remaining devoted to another. The Diary is a love story. Its also the story of the unshakable bond between a mother and her daughters. Elizabeths daughters are forced to ask the question that all adult children must ask themselves at some point. How well do you really know your parents?
