Overview: Beatrice Sparks (January 15, 1917 – May 25, 2012) was an American therapist and Mormon youth counselor who was known for producing books purporting to be the "real diaries" of troubled teenagers. The books deal with topical issues such as drug abuse, Satanism, teenage pregnancy or AIDS, and are presented as cautionary tales. However, there is an ongoing controversy surrounding the authenticity of her books and whether or not they’re real diaries.

Almost Lost: Fifteen-year-old Sam is in pain. He comes to the therapist’s office unwillingly, angry, depressed, and filled with guilt over his own self-destructive behavior. He is being drawn deeper and deeper into a black hole of despair from which he sees no way out.
This is the real-life story of Sam’s recovery, told from tapes of his therapy sessions. It tells what drove him to leave home, how he survived on the street, and why he was desperate to escape from the brutality of the gang that had become his "family" and from the torment of his own self-loathing.
Kim: Empty Inside: When Kim can’t handle things, she eats. Then she purges. Sometimes she fasts. She knows she isn’t as thin as the other girls on her gymnastics team, and she’s worried that now, away from home for the first time as a college freshman, she won’t be able to live up to expectations — especially her own. Eating is the one thing she can control — or can she?
Treacherous Love: Fourteen-year-old Jennie’s life is turning upside down. Her father has walked out, and her anguished mother seeks solace in pills. Her best friend practically abandons her to be with a boyfriend. It seems like Jennie’s real best friend is her diary. Then she meets Mr. Johnstone, the substitute math teacher. Jennie has never met such a charismatic teacher. She feels honored when Mr. J. seems to single her out for special attention, and begins to fantasize about him as her boyfriend. When Mr. J. first reveals his feelings for her, she is thrilled by the relationship that grows outside the classroom walls. Then, slowly, Jennie’s diary becomes a record of her loneliness, pain, and confusion. Will it also offer her a way to escape from this treacherous love?
