Chapter One
March 15, 1930
Dear Diary,
Lately Papa’s been coming home looking worried. He won’t tell me what is going on, which is quite an unusual thing for him to do. His face looks all wrong, as if the world was about to end. I hear people, well old ladies mostly, talking about our country crashing downward. What could that possibly mean. What could go wrong with our country? I think those ladies were just having a bad day. Speaking of bad day Mama sounds like she could use a little nap.
Lots of Love,
Rose
"Rosalia Mary Kaiser. If you don’t come down here in 5 seconds I’m going to come up there and drag you out," Yelled Mama.
Rose sighed and closed her diary. She didn’t like it when she was being yelled at. It made her feel like a child. Parents shouldn’t yell at twelve year old's. Thought Rose. She was almost a teenager just like her sister. Not some child!
"ROSALIA! DOWNSTAIRS NOW!!" screamed Mama. Rose slowly got up and stalked out of her room and down the stairs. Standing there was an angry mother waiting to yell at her perfect daughter. She took a long look at her daughter, studying her from top to bottom.
"How many times do I have to tell you to come to me when I call you the first time. And why are you wearing that horrid dress" said Mama with a disgusted look on her face. Rose looked down at her dress.
