Writing down her experiences in a journal wasn't Jenny's idea. Dr. Jameson, the school's psychologist, asked her to do it as a part of her therapy, as a way to come to terms with her trauma. What started off as an assignment to recount the events of a single week turned into a chronicle covering several months, an entire semester. Jenny's journal ended up being more memoire than journal. In it, she recounts her father's abuse at the end of the summer of 1961 - the incident that turned her life upside down. She tells how Karen, her older sister, came up with a wild scheme to keep her away from their father. A scheme that got Jenny enrolled as a boarding student at the Emma Hart Willard Preparatory Academy, the elite boarding school for girls in Marblehead, Massachusetts, up the coast from Boston. Jenny gives an account of the events of that Fall from her point of view with a candor and reflection rare in one so young.This new edition contains letters Marty and Jenny exchanged two years after Jenny's ordeal with her father, as well as notes from Jenny to Dr. Jameson about her therapy sessions.Note from the editor: This book aimed at mature adolescents (16+) and adults. While it doesn't contain profanity (except for some mild swearwords, mostly in French) nor erotic material, the narratives do contain frank discussions of sexuality (using only correct terminology and no slang terms). If this material would be upsetting, this book is not for you.
