My name is Christine Zeppli-Pendleton. (Soon to be Pendleton-Kakyoin if all goes to plan.) This story, while true, is not my own. Recently, while looking through the family storage, I came across the perfectly preserved diaries of my great great grandmother, Carmen Pendleton. My original task was quickly abandoned as I spent t he rest of my day reading. What I discovered was a life unlike any other, and by the time I finished, I felt like I had gotten to know my dear family much better. While some elements seemed outlandish and in the realm of fantasy, quick research proved all of Carmen's entries bore an element of truth. Well, one or two entries contained some strangeness even my bizarre family history couldn't explain. I've notated a few entries that required an author's note for further explanation, historical backgrounds, and even my own observations and questions. Carmen owned quite a few diaries throughout her life, too many to fit in one book, so I have selected my favorite and most interesting entries for this book. With all that said, please enjoy
