Book Description
Since early childhood, Yvonne has had many reasons to suspect that she is different from the other people: She often experiences telepathic and psychic phenomena. She is eminent for her high intelligence and good character. She never wishes to harm anybody; she wouldn't know how, either. As a result, the others underestimate her and show it to her at the first opportunity. During adolescence, new problems appear: Gangs of hostile persons seem to be lurking for her everywhere, always ready to deride and terrorize her without any apparent reason. Moreover, she is constantly dogged by negative omens, bad luck and odd coincidences. Every time things seem to be getting better, finally everything goes wry and she ends up worse than before. She comes to believe that she is a target of visible and invisible evil forces. Reaching adulthood, her life takes an unhoped turn for the better. Her wildest dreams seem to be on their way to materialization. But is it so?

A diary is usually a personal record, where you write your secrets, your innermost thoughts and feelings. It's something you keep for yourself, something you don't share with others.
