This authentic diary, kept by a Viennese schoolgirl when she was eleven to fourteen years old, first appeared publicly in 1919. Richly expressive and emotionally moving, it intimately chronicles her passage from childhood to puberty with frankness, lucidity, and an honesty that scandalized the anonymous author's contemporaries. Originally presented by Sigmund Freud as a specimen to analyze and observe the development of a young female during the vital years of personal growth, the book relates, in a gently ironic tone, daily encounters and experiences as well as private conversations and exchanged intimacies with a close friend. "So charming, so serious, and so artless, that it cannot fail to be of supreme interest to educationists and psychologists."—Sigmund Freud "Psychotherapists and analysts will enjoy debating the implications of the document's frank evocation of the sexual awakening of a cosseted girl."—Publisher's Weekly

We often hear or say “everything will be alright” as a form of encouragement when someone is going through hardship. However, have we ever really thought about who we are putting our trust in? This phrase becomes much more meaningful when said by a two-year old boy. At age one, Luis Pablo was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia m7, a very aggressive form of cancer which presented a big challenge to his doctors. His case was always considered high risk and defied all medical standards. The need for blood and platelet donors motivated Luis Pablo’s parents to share his story on social media. This started a movement of love and solidarity that made everyone involved understand that we can only be certain that everything will be alright when we fully trust God and put everything in His hands, because it is all part of a perfect plan.
