Review Quotes

"Explore through Liesel the wonder of her extraordinary life. From escaping the Holocaust as a young girl to the beauty and tragedy of a long life fully lived, her magical world will captivate any reader."

"I painted this [cover] portrait of Liesel Sabloff not only because I wanted to get to know this wonderful woman a little better, but also I wanted to honor her as a remarkable overcomer of life's difficulties. She is a woman who has refused to let extremely challenging setbacks stop her from learning and living. I wanted to honor that legacy in a painting, so others would not forget."

"I first met Liesel in 1990; thirty-two years later I am still amazed by the next story she tells of her life experiences, her interests, her family, and her accomplishments. 'Your life is the best book that's never been written, ' I said. But of course, Liesel has now done that as well."
