" Breaking Night reads more like an adventure story than an addiction-morality tale. It's a white-knuckle account of survival. . . . By age 6, Murray knew how to mainline drugs (though she never took them) and how to care for her strung-out parents. She showed uncanny maturity, even as a child, and later managed to avoid that malady of teenagers and memoir writers, self-pity. . . . Murray's stoicism has been hard-earned; it serves her well as a writer. Breaking Night itself is full of heart, without a sliver of ice, and deeply moving." ( The New York Times Book Review ) "Liz Murray shows us that the human spirit has infinite ability to grow and can never be limited by circumstance. Breaking Night is a beautifully written, heartfelt memoir that will change the way you look your community, the obstacles in your own life and the American Dream. An inspiration, a must read." (Robert Redford) "[Liz Murray] reminds us that the greatest acts of love and failure can occur side by side; that isolation and loss can give way to accomplishment and promise. She offers the awesome hope that, regardless of its past, a life can go beyond endurance and reach for triumph. She leave us with the memory of a child who clung to and refused to surrender the dignity of her soul." (Andrew Bridge, author of the New York Times bestseller Hope's Boy ) "As much as it is a memoir, Breaking Night is a primer on how poverty and drug abuse create a heartbreaking underclass of children, one that goes largely unnoticed. By the truly uplifting ending, Liz Murray has shown us the worst, and the very best, of America." (Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy and She Got Up Off the Couch ) In the vein of The Glass Castle, Breaking Night is the stunning memoir of a young woman who at age fifteen was living on the streets, and who eventually made it into Harvard. Liz Murray was born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx. In school she was taunted for her dirty clothing and lice-infested hair, eventually skipping so many classes that she was put into a girls' home. At age fifteen, Liz found herself on the streets when her family finally unraveled. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep. When Liz's mother died of AIDS, she decided to take control of her own destiny and go back to high school, often completing her assignments in the hallways and subway stations where she slept. Liz squeezed four years of high school into two, while homeless; won a New York Times scholarship; and made it into the Ivy League. Breaking Night is an unforgettable and beautifully written story of one young woman's indomitable spirit to survive and prevail, against all odds.

又是一本被书名毁了的书, 其实这不是一本告诉你怎么考上哈佛的书,而是告诉你面对苦难,你是可以选择的,当看到莉兹那段消沉的日子,就想起陈扬师兄说过的话:当一个烂人和当一个好人都一样难,你为什么不选择当个好人? 今年农历后,爸爸的公司倒闭了,钱被合...

有的人生来锦衣华服,有的生来贫困潦倒。但是如果弱者不思进取,不愿付出努力,寻找种种理由为自己的潦倒开脱,在享受中堕落,那么这样的生活势将如同一潭死水一般毫无生机。上帝赐予我平静,让我们接受无法改变的事情。莉丝的父母吸毒,一家生活在贫民窟,她不能穿整洁的衣服...

Read it as the English material. If what I read is the Chinese version, I may have dropped it in a half way. 85%of the book describes her miserable life before high school, and only 15% tells us how she tried her best for the study and scholarship. For me, I haven’t been touched that much. 作为英语读物读完的。如果是读的中文版,可能看不到一半就放弃了吧。本以为是部励志书,结果85%都在写她高中之前的悲惨生活
