Summary: The one you were named for. . .
A/N: Okay, I haven't read the Kit books (having read my last AG book back when I was like twelve and they only had 5 of the girls back then) I just liked the name and how it fit, which is why there's not much back story.
History Lesson
Kit Holburn hated her name. It was stupid and pointless, and was just - well, she just hated it. Didn't matter that her mom had told her countless times that she was named after her grandmother, or that it was a name to be proud of, it was a stupid name and she hated it. She was named after a woman who'd died when she was two and knew nothing about.
Until she'd found Grandma Kit's diary. The first date was from1934. Kit didn't know what possessed her to read the seventy year old diary, but she found she couldn't put it down. It only chronicled that one year in Kit Kittredge's life, but she sure had done a lot for being an eleven year old in the middle of the Depression.
"Kitty, honey?" Elizabeth Holburn called, peeking in her daughter's bedroom. "What're you reading? Is that -"
"Grandma Kit's diary," Kit said, nodding.
"You're grandma was an amazing woman, sweetie. She was so thrilled when we decided to name you after her," Elizabeth smiled.
"Could you tell maybe tell me a little bit more about her?"
"Sure thing, sweetie."
