This tribute is to the woman that before her, I was less than nothing, and with her, I started to become something, and now I’m invincible. She brought me from nothing to something to someone who can change the world. When I was a boy growing up, most people said I wouldn’t live to reach manhood, but if I did, I would end up in jail. But by the grace of God and the support from my wife, I proved them all wrong. I give thanks every day to God for putting you in my life. I also give thanks to you for staying with me after all the wrong, pain, disappointment, and suffering I caused you. But most of all, for not killing me in my sleep (God knows you had every reason to do so). You have been the anchor that kept my ship from drifting away, the thing that held it in place when it was drifting out to the open sea. Because of you, I was able to charter a new course, maintain it, and reach our goals. If God had not put you in my life, my ship would have sail to places unknown—a place where there is no future (where time stands still), a place where lost people end up (hell on earth). Thank you for saving me from that, thank you for showing me the right directions to the right places in life, and a thank you for helping me get there. I can’t even see life without you with me; all I can see without you is an empty space—like a black hole with no light at the end (a dead end). My future would be nothing without you being in the future with me. You are my better half. That part of me where good exists. The part that will take me from the darkness into the light. This book is a tribute to you, my wife, Rutha M. Hall, because you are the wind in my sails wherever my ship ends up. It’s because of your wind and God’s navigation. I was just the tool he used, a blind man that couldn’t see. So this book is a tribute to the most wonderful woman God could ever send a man. He sent me you, Rutha M. Hall, a woman who could stay with a man after all the wrong and bad things he did to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You stayed with me after all the disrespect, the women, the drugs, and alcohol for over thirty years. Again, thank you, and please, please, forgive me (once more)! Because I know this (ship) has other goals to reach, and I know this (ship) will reach those goals because of your wind and God’s navigation. How can it not? Thank you for being my wife, Rutha M. Hall. You saved my life.

This “amazingly precocious” diary of girlhood in the early twentieth century is filled with a “special charm” (The Christian Science Monitor). Born in Paris, Anaïs Nin started her celebrated diary at age eleven, when she was immigrating to New York with her mother and two young brothers. The diary became her confidant, her beloved friend, in which she recorded her most intimate thoughts and kept watch on the state of her character. Offering an amusing view of Nin’s early life, from age eleven to seventeen, it is also a self-portrait of an innocent girl who is transformed, through her own insights, into an enlightened young woman. “An enchanting portrait of a girl’s constant search for herself . . . will delight her admirers as well as new readers.” —Library Journal “One of the most extraordinary documents in the annals of literature.” —Providence Sunday Journal “[The Early Diary is] not merely an overture to the great performance. It deserves our attention on its own as a revelation of the rites of passage of a young girl in the early part of the [twentieth] century and as an expression of the collision of cultures between Europe and America.” —Los Angeles Times Preface by Joaquin Nin-Culmell
