Beginning in January 1901, a nineteen-year-old in the mining town of Butte sets down a daily portrait of herself: odd, lonely, ambitious, declaring herself a genius and a philosopher who cares neither for right nor wrong. She writes of the sand and barrens around the town, her hunger for happiness, her love for a former teacher and her wish to meet the Devil.
A frank confessional that caused a sensation on publication and still startles modern readers. Download the free EPUB.
