世纪八十年代，戴安·派珀从她的孩子年幼时起就开始写日记记录他们的成长。派珀一家是普通人家，住在汉普郡一个安静的村子里，戴安是当地一名幼儿园老师，她的丈夫大卫则是一名理发师，而他们的孩子——保罗、凯蒂和苏西快乐地成长，学习空手道，学跳芭蕾舞，放放风筝以及海滩旅行。而凯蒂是三个孩子中最闹的。“她当时相当任性固执，很独立，无论到哪都能交到朋友，”戴安说。“你说得好外交辞令啊，”凯蒂笑着说。
In the 1980s, when her children were young, Diane Piper kept a diary of their progress.The Pipers were an ordinary family. They lived in a sleepy Hampshire village, where Diane was an infant-school teacher. Her husband, David,was a barber, and their children, Paul, Katie and Suzy, proceeded happily through karate and ballet lessons, kite-flying and beach excursions. Katie was, by some measure, the loudest. ＂She was quite willful, headstrong, very independent and made friends wherever she went,＂ says Diane. ＂You＇re being very diplomatic,＂ says Katie, laughing.
