In a tale that evokes the England of Charles Dickens, author and philosopher Sydney Banks tells the story of a compelling young street urchin in mid-nineteenth century London whose life expresses the effects of the Three Principles. Banks has always believed that individuals have within themselves the ability to directly access the immense healing power of Mind, Consciousness and Thought. In Dear Liza, a penniless and abandoned Liza is the catalyst whose simple honesty and faith in life and the power of love awakens a new awareness in the people around her, even the wealthy and powerful. Banks' latest book reflects once again the respect he has for the innate grace and health within ordinary people, as expressed in such other works as The Enlightened Gardener (2001) and The Enlightened Gardener Revisited (2004).
