Fans of Precious, The Blind Side and A Piece Of Cake will appreciate the warmth and humour of this inspirational true story.
From age five, Liz Murray was regularly starved and neglected by her drug-addicted parents, who squandered all of their money on their next fix. By age 15, she was living on the streets of New York, eating food from bins and riding the subway all night to have a warm place to sleep.
But when her mother died of AIDS, Liz’s life changed forever. She pulled herself back from the brink and, while supporting herself and her sister, she defied all odds by receiving a scholarship at age 18 to Harvard University.
Breaking Night is a deeply moving and life-enriching memoir.
