The Red Leather Diary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal is a non-fiction book by Lily Koppel about a discarded 75-year-old diary, rescued from a dumpster, based on Koppel's 2006 New York Times^[1] City section cover story. The diary was kept from 1929 to 1934 by a young Manhattanite with literary and artistic aspirations. With the help of a private investigator, Koppel found the diarist, 90-year-old Florence Wolfson Howitt.
