Book Description

It's unusual to access a child's mind during the magic years of childhood. It's rarer when the child is facing her death. Liza, an ardent child with a deep love of cows and the color purple was diagnosed with leukemia at age four and died two years later in 1996. Liza was an unusually expressive child and her parents, both child psychiatrists, were uniquely oriented to appreciate the richness of a child's mind. Through writing this book, Liza's father strove to reveal the inner world of a child's mind--and a parent's mind--as few other books can. At its center, this is the story of a child's psyche growing and striving to understand all she could of her experience, and of a small family coping with life's biggest challenges. It is a story of love's power to help a family cope and endure despite loss, and to grow, through darkness, back toward a full embrace of life. Through the process, the family emerges transformed, awed by the capacities of this child.

This app is a true gift for book lovers – it's like having a personal library wherever I go. ListenBook has transformed my daily routine into an opportunity to learn, relax, and enjoy. The narrator's voice took some getting used to - a bit nasal at first - but I grew to like it after a few chapters. Their pacing was excellent throughout.

Audiobooks have turned my mundane activities into opportunities for learning and enjoyment. Changing the tone of the sound on ListenBook Pro adds a personal touch to my experience. Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop is a delightful way to share the joy of storytelling. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
