The Diary of a Young Girl

Going into this I didn't really know a lot about Anne Frank, other than some odd facts and that her diary was a treasured read for many people.
Now I know why! Anne's voice through her diary is candid, sincere and thoughtful. From a spitfire young girl with no filter, to an introspective young lady growing up in one of the most devastating moments in history, her words and thoughts are at times funny, at times awe-inspiring and at times heart-breaking – especially if you know the outcome of her story. Yes at times she is full of herself and goes through some adolescent phases most of us would like to forget, but her writing makes it a journey worth taking with her anyway. By the end, I was seeing a young woman who would have been a force in the world had things not ended so tragically soon. I was impressed by how much she matured despite being virtually sequestered from the world for over 2 years. Her resiliency and her introspect shine through the hardships and definitely inspired me. I see a kindred spirit in Anne, as I suspect so many others have while reading her diary. I think she was a truly amazing person. I highly recommend reading this, especially during our own trying times, and perhaps like myself, you will gain some strength and resiliency yourself from her words.
