Breaking Night by Liz Murray
A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard
Raised by drug-addicted parents in the Bronx, a teenager recounts her descent into homelessness after her mother’s death and her father’s illness, surviving in shelters and on subway trains while clinging to education as a lifeline; through grit, late-night studying and help from teachers, she finishes high school in two years and wins a scholarship to Harvard, transforming loss and instability into a story of resilience and hope.
