One day, Lizzie finds a book in her grandfather's library that tells the story of a young girl named Alice who is sent to live with her grandmother after her mother's death. Lizzie starts to feel like she's been given a second chance at life and she begins to explore her new surroundings in a new way. Lizzie is also able to reconnect with her mother in a way that she never thought possible. Farther Off from Heaven is a heartwarming story about the power of forgiveness and the importance of family.; 8vo; FSA.
