Hannah's Diary

Prologue

February 19, 1989

Dear Jury-ers,

My name is Hannah Austin, and I will be nine years old in June. I guess you know that already, since Mom said you need to see my diary. I started writing in it when I was seven, but just for me and not for people I don't even know. Mom tried to tell me, but I don't understand what a Federal Grand Jury is. I know you will put those people in prison for a long time, so if my diary will help you, I guess it's ok. Besides, Mom says I don't have any choice. I have to give it to you.

So here you go. Here is my diary. Can I please have it back when you are done? Thank you.

Hannah Austin
