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 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.
