Written between 1942 and 1944, this diary records the daily life of Anne Frank, a teenage girl who goes into hiding with her family in a concealed section of a canal-side office building in Amsterdam. Confined with her parents, her older sister and a few companions, she writes about her hopes, her frictions with the people sharing the rooms, her growing love of writing, and her wish to become a writer one day.
