Dear Liza

By: Sydney Banks

Narrated by: Janice Ryan

Liza, an orphan girl living on the cold streets of London in 1834, is able to rise above her squalid surroundings to bring joy to the lives of others. Although only 11, she displays amazing courage as she cares for a younger child and ekes out a bare existence through the approaching winter, guided by the wisdom embodied in letters left to her by her mother. When Liza meets a wealthy gentleman, her mysterious, almost magical manner causes him to re-examine his own life.

Over time, he and others around him are transformed as they begin to understand the depth of Liza’s insight. Sydney Banks’s simple, inspiring tale illuminates how love and compassion can bring peace and contentment to people of all ages and from all walks of life.

Beautiful story

I finished this book in one sitting. It is heartfelt and emotional. Try not to cry!

Comforting, inspiring, and loving.

I love how each character in this story is touched by Liza and her life story. They become appreciative for what they have instead of looking down on others for having less. They gain a deep understanding of value for humanity, far beyond possessions or money. Each character evolves with gratitude and kindness found inside of themselves. It’s beautiful because that is what they contribute going forward.

Keep your thoughts pure and your heart will always be happy.

Read this book to spark appreciation for your close loved ones and your own life. Recognize the good in people; bring out the best in others with appreciation and good will.
