"I promise to write only what I saw and lived through, not hide anything from you. I'll tell you even the worst things I experienced, which may seem crazy or impossible... I remember them well. It all happened in the world we left behind."

1942, Lvov. Bina Krakowski is almost seven when the Nazis decide to liquidate the ghetto and send its inhabitants to Auschwitz. As her family attempts to escape through the sewers, running through gunfire, Bina and her mother separate from her father and are left to fend for themselves. Surviving the war by hiding in forests and traveling from village to village in search of shelter, Bina cannot imagine when the horrors will ever end.

2018, Long Island. Eighty-year-old Bina Solomon has built a quiet life as a respected Holocaust scholar, but now she is facing her final move to a retirement community. Abigail, the granddaughter she practically raised, is about to move off to college and is helping her to pack away her previous life. While clearing the attic, Abigail finds a worn notebook written in a language she does not understand. Bina immediately recognizes her tattered childhood diary, the one she held on to dearly, documenting every painful moment so she would never forget.

As Abigail and Bina dive deeper into her traumatic wartime stories, Bina is flooded by painful memories she thought she would never speak of again. Though it feels like a lifetime ago, is she ready to face the darkness she had locked away deep inside?

Keeper of the Lost Diary is an emotional testament to the courage of a young girl in the face of unspeakable horrors, beautifully weaving the past with the present. This heart-wrenching tale of loss, love, and unimaginable courage will captivate readers of Kristin Harmel, Kelly Rimmer, and Barbara Davis.
