KEEPER OF THE DIARY

Otto Frank returns from Auschwitz to a shattered life and the wrenching loss of his wife and daughters. Among the meager possessions salvaged by devoted family friend Miep Gies is a small, cloth-bound, checkered book that contains the voice, the spirit, and the life of his daughter: Anne Frank.

Hers is a bright, optimistic perspective that the world, still grappling with the unthinkable atrocities committed by the Nazis and the staggering loss off life sustained during the War, sorely needs - but in attempting to secure publication of the Diary, Otto faces an immense struggle against suspicion, skepticism, and indifference around the world.

Junior editor Barbara Zimmerman, fresh out of the typing pool at Doubleday & Co. in New York, becomes his sole ally in a passionate crusade to ensure that the tender, inspiring, uplifting voice of Anne Frank is never lost or forgotten.
