Always Liza to me
A very personal, entertaining and engaging memoir.
If we understood love fully, why and how we love the way we do, we would not make mistakes with it. We would never love the wrong person, love improperly, with too little or too much care, or with too much severity. We would not ache for love and then withdraw it. We would love perfectly and forever, we would never distance ourselves from the vulnerable.
