Bhí plean déanta ag Emily Porter dá laethanta saoire samhraidh i 1994; bhí sí chun fanacht sa leaba go dtí meán lae agus an chuid eile den lá a chaitheamh lena cara is fearr, Olivia. Ach i ngan fhios di, bhí plean eile ag a tuismitheoirí. Plean cruálach. Plean gránna. Plean díoltasach… Bhí Emily le cur in aghaidh a tola, chuig Coláiste Samhraidh sa Ghaeltacht – nó An Jailtacht mar a thug Emily air!
Emily had a plan for her summer holidays in 1994: she would stay in bed until noon and then spend the rest of each day with her best friend, Olivia. But without her knowing, her parents had a different plan. A cruel plan. A horrid plan. A vengeful plan … Againsther wishes, Emily was to be sent to a Gaeltacht Summer College … or as she called it, the Jailtacht!

10 Samhain 12.30–1.30pm
Tá Emily Porter sona sásta. Tá sí féin agus Cian ag dul amach ‘go hoifigiúil’, tá sí san idirbhliain anois (níl aon staidéar le déanamh ar feadh bliana), agus tá múinteoir nua ar scoil atá spreagúil, cineálta agus an-dathúil! Ach, ní fada go dtosaíonn rudaí ag dul in olcas don déagóir bocht. Agus tá rún mór le scaoileadh ag Mam agus Daid a athróidh saol Emily ó bhun go barr.
Emily Porter is happy out. Herself and Cian are officially going out, she’s in transition year now (no homework for a year), and there’s a new teacher who is inspiring and a total lash!But it’s not long before things unravel. She has problems galore – with her best friend Olivia, at home and with her boyfriend. If that wasn’t bad enough, her Mam and Dad have a big secret to share that will turn Emily’s life upside down.
Emily Brontë and Emily Dickinson are literary icons and Emily Porter is delighted that her diary is adding to the literary tradition of the Emilys.
