She does mention throughout the book, that Ben has always liked her rather than his own daughter. "Each time there is a party or a get-together at the Great Northern, Benjamin puts me on his lap or knee and sings to me softly in my ear."(pg 13) Also,"I'm sixteen years old, I'm a cocaine addict, a prostitute who fucks her fathers employers..."(p 167) These passages help my suspiscions, along with the fact that she does not seem to hold any thing or any secret against her father in her entries. One question, who is Harold? This person is brought up at the end of the diary, and is also given the diary to hold, by Laura before she died. Have we seen someone called Harold? I don't recall.
