Edith Howland\'s Diary is her most precious possession.
She invents a happy life, and as she knits for imaginary grandchildre.
As Edith\'s life turns sour, she retreats into her writing; and while her life plunges into chaos, a disturbing tale of success and happiness blooms in her diary.
After moving with her family from New York City to suburban Pennsylvania, Edith\'s husband abandons her for a younger woman, leaving her trapped in a bleak existence with her degenerate son and his senile uncle.
