Its a fairly small hard-backed journal. The color is black with a few pink and white swirls and dots on it. There is no lock but string attatched to the outside which you can pull over it so it doesn't accidently fall open. She bought it at the airport when she arrived in New York as she felt it might be easier to rebuild her life if she wrote everything down. It now resides beside her bed in a drawer, only coming out at night when she lies in bed and writes about her day.
