Book Details
First Sentence
"Dear Diary, Today is my birthday. I am twelve years old. My mother gave me a brown paper bag with some new socks and underwear. She gave me a small cake from the bakery. She told me she did her duty and not to expect anything else. I don’t expect anything else. Not any more. Not after today. It’s been six birthdays that I have waited by the living room window, parting the dark green drapes, separating the off-white metal blinds. Looking, waiting, hoping for my dad’s old green truck to pull up in front of our house. He’s not coming."
