About

I buy old diaries, handwritten by women from across the United States and I “find” the Diary Writer in the historical record. I then read, transcribe, do research on, reflect, and write about the stories I find. I create family trees, read birth, marriage, and death records, and link high school yearbook pictures, obituaries, and news articles to the Writers. I even learn about the towns and times that they lived in to reconstruct their pasts from before the diary and in their futures after.
