Maude's Monologue

A teenage girl's gratitude diary that is jam packed with stories about reflection, relationships, and resilience. With a dash of anxiety, hard hitting facts and plenty of humour.

Inspired by her form tutor, Maude agrees to record a diary for the first half term of year nine. This diary is unlike any other; Maude must identify something she is grateful for each day, and she has to justify why she is grateful. Maude's tutor, Mr Walsh, explains that there must be depth to the diary, in order for her to learn about herself and how resilient she is.

Maude's family is central to her own values and beliefs and her mum is a liberal feminist/therapeutic counsellor, who teaches Maude to see the bigger picture. She tries to teach Maude how to be assertive without being aggressive and gives her guidance on many difficult situations.
