AJ stepped off the bus in Kenner, Louisiana. He hadn't told anyone where he was going or why but he was an independent young man who didn't see why people always wanted to check where he was. His main reason for leaving Hathian was to fetch one of those big tubs of ice cream for Mark because the man said he couldn't find them in town but AJ could have gone anywhere for that. He'd chosen Kenner because it was his hometown. Almost a year since his family were killed, he wanted to go home.

He found himself drawn to an old second-hand store and, inside, he found an old diary. Not just any diary, though. On the first page, there was a sentence written in a loopy scrawl: 'Property of James M. Keaton'. The boy knew he had to buy the journal and he spent the bus ride home to Hathian reading all of the things his father had written: there were passages about work; there were pages all about AJ's mother; there were days when his father wrote about nothing but his children. Then came the days when the man was no longer around to write anything.

The little boy had always thought that diaries were for girls to talk about their crushes but, seeing that his dad, the strongest man the boy had ever known and the 'best policeman ever', wrote in one, he decided he would start. And where better to write than in his father's old journal?
