Breaking Night

Born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx, Liz Murray endured poverty, bullying, and homelessness from age fifteen, scavenging for food and sleeping in subways.

After her mother's death from AIDS, she resolved to change her life, compressing four years of high school into two while homeless, earning a New York Times scholarship, and gaining admission to Harvard.

This unforgettable story highlights her indomitable spirit, forgiveness, and triumph over unimaginable odds.
