I loved Benjamin Hoff's short introduction/biography of Opal Whiteley. Wow! How this child's / young woman's talent, voice and brilliant mind were squelched by her environment and the time is horrific. Who knows what she could have become if she had lived today. Her diary is extraordinary, but not for me. Still, a beautiful book that should be read.
