When Hannah Black started writing her journal, she had no intention of sharing it with the world. She just wanted to write down her private thoughts and feelings like a normal teenage girl. However, as she wrote her daily activities she quickly realized that her story was different than most girls. Everything she thought she knew when she started writing her diary slowly changed until her old self was unrecognizable to her. A year after she finished her diary she decided to look into the possibility of sharing her story. Even though there were difficult times, she felt that God had given her these struggles for a reason. If her story can help one other girl come to grips with her teenage struggles, she will be happy. These are the unedited words that Hannah wrote in her diary between September 1st, 2012 and January 1st, 2013. We both hope you take away something positive from her story. Enjoy
