(2) 4-6 "I am resolved to keep two diaries, one to share with Mother and Father, and this one which shall be my honest thoughts." Whelan ingeniously imagines the seven months ten-year-old Louisa and her family spent at Fruitlands, her father's failed utopic community. The private journal offers Louisa's unexpurgated opinions and is a forum in which she explores her complex feelings toward her father and his beliefs.
