Violet’s 1934 Diary

This is one of Sally’s favorite diaries! A young woman begins writing  this diary January 1st, 1934 following a New Years Eve party, where she met a man named Vic. Over the course of a year, Violet’s life with Vic is like a rollercoaster ride and something that could be written as a novel or made into a movie! This is the first of twelve episodes–each covering one month of Violet’s diary.
Some entries may not be suitable for younger listeners.
A thank you to Stacey Cochrun for being the voice of Violet!
