A Summary of Conor and Liz in Little Princes
Conor Grennan frequently emailed Liz and they became good friends over the internet. Liz eventually agreed finally spend two days with Conor in Thamel. An exhausted Conor was finally able to be relieved by hearing Liz’s voice and hanging out with his friends. Conor was further relieved to introduce Liz to the twenty six children of the Dhaulagiri House. Since Conor’s last visit the living conditions in the house had improved and the children had begun studying. In fact, the children even spent there Saturday evenings studying. After Liz bonded with the female children for two days, Conor brought her to the airport so she could visit India. At this point it became apparent to Conor that he was falling in love with Liz. In fact, Conor even contemplated following Liz to India and meeting up with her for a few extra days. Instead Conor decided to invite Liz to eventually return to the Dhaulagiri House to visit the children.
Next, Conor decided to share with the Dhaulagiri House children memories from when he met their parents throughout remote areas in Nepal. Conor began by sharing a story with Jagrit about meeting his father in Jaira. Jagrit had always wondered why he was separated from his parents and was emotional upon learning that his father was tricked by traffickers and his mother did everything in her power to keep him. Furthermore, Jagrit was moved by a picture of his father where the guilt and anguish his father felt over losing him was apparent. This experience motivated Conor to share his experiences with the Dhaulagiri House from his trip to Godawari, where Conor met all of the children’s parents. The children showed excitement and joy as they got to view nearly two hundred pictures from Conor’s trip. Moreover, each child was thrilled to see recent pictures of their families. The reassurance that the families of the children were still alive and healthy was important to the Dhaulagiri House. However, Conor regrettably had to inform Raju and Priya that their parents had died.
Now, Liz returned to visit the Dhaulagiri House for a week. Conor and Liz had always connected deeply over there emails, but really didn’t convey emotions well the first time they met in person. However, this time they connected on a deeper level. For example, Christianity had always played an important role in Liz’s life. Conor and Liz were able to spend the Christian holiday of Christmas together bonding with the children over breakfast. Liz described the experience as doing what Jesus would want her to do which exemplified the emotional richness of Connor and Liz’s relationship. In fact, Conor even purchased a Bible to understand Liz’s background more thoroughly. Next, Conor and Liz were became even closer due to their connections with the children. The Dhaulagiri House consisted of twenty six children. Six of the seven initial children resided there. Conor’s friend Gyan found the seventh child, Bishnu, who had been sold as a slave. Conor and the mayor unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the businessman to release Bishnu. When all hope was lost to get Bishnu back into the Dhaulagiri House, Liz was the most supportive of Conor.
Finally, the relationship between Conor and Liz continued to grow as they continued to email before Liz’s third visit. Conor’s friends were skeptical of the status of his relationship with Liz. However, Conor and Liz were technically just friends until Liz’s last visit. When the feeling of love was mutual between Conor and Liz, Conor proposed. Liz agreed to the proposal and has been married to Conor ever since. Moreover, Conor has moved the fundraising operations of his charity to the United States and it still operates today.

In first part of chapter three shows a story about how he returned from American, and he explained about the feeling when he saw his mother. He heard about the attacks in Nepal in the Radio. After his mother left to Florida, he sent a message to Viva by email telling her that he wants to come back to Nepal. He bought the ticket, and before he went to Nepal he went to Kathmandu.
In the second part of chapter three the author shows the events about when he arrived to Nepal it was one year from when he traveled. He found a job in Nepal and started working while the kids were at school. Conor promised to find the seven lost children, and give them a safe home.
