那是1947年，新近脱离了英国统治的印度被分为两个国家：巴基斯坦和印度。 这种分歧在印度教徒和穆斯林之间造成了很大的紧张以至于数十万人在越过边界时被杀害。 半穆斯林，半印度教十二岁的尼莎不知道她来自哪里，他的故乡是什么。 当爸爸决定留在现在的巴基斯坦太危险时，Nisha和她的家人成为难民并先是乘火车出发，但后来徒步到达她的新家。 这段旅程漫长充满艰难险阻。在婴儿时期失去母亲之后，Nisha也无法想象失去她的祖国。即使她的国家被撕裂，Nisha仍然相信有可能将她重新组合在一起。 通过Nisha给她母亲的信件，《The Night Diary》是讲述一个女孩寻找家园，寻求自己的身份......以及寻求一个有希望的未来的感人故事。

It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders. Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together. Told through Nisha's letters to her mother, The Night Diary is a heartfelt story of one girl's search for home, for her own identity...and for a hopeful future
