She is a wonderful, giving, forgiving positive person. I watched the movie and it was very well portrayed by Thora Birch. It is beautiful that Liz knows her parents loved her which is the most important ingredient in having resilience (maybe - I haven't walked in Liz's shoes) but she didn't have emotional or physical support and knew she needed that. Many children/teenagers get the food and creature comforts but not the love and time. Liz remembered having fun sliding with her mum and the cuddles and the advice from her dad which is what kept her going in spite of all the hurdles she had to jump and bullying she was facing daily. That watershed moment in which she saw herself never progressing in life and decided to do something right then was brilliant - she didn't expect anything to be handed to her; she knew she had to persist and work hard. She has such warmth and compassion and I love it that she said that people should not use the excuse of a bad childhood for their bad adult behaviour. Wonderful human being.
The story of liz murray from homeless to harvard tells us, yes, we can.yes, we can.get into Harvard.yes, we can.win the battle against covid 19,yes, we can.conquer the corona virus in 2020.
I love her story. When I watch Ed her whole story about her being a homeless when she was a little, it really blew my mind and it was just .... What a Heartfelt action
You are Awesome. I lived a 1-2/10 scale of what you did. (You being a 10/10 ) I was a kid who wanted to learn and wanted more. I'm currently 59yo, I'm secure and have a home to share.. How can I help kids like you?
A couple of questions, else the questions might be answered when I read 'Breaking Night'. Three defining moments in Liz's life, the death of her mother, Eva and Humanities Preparatory Academy! 1/ Was Eva at the New York Times when Liz was awarded her scholarship? 2/ What's happened to Liz's sister?
She is wonderful young, my story has many similarities with hers, on my channel there is a brief summary "From Homeless Child to Entrepreneur", I hope you like it and find it useful. Big hug....
I'm looking for a book and I'm not sure what it's called. is this the one where she falls out of the car and her family doent notice for miles? an like her sister ate a stick of butter and sugar mixed? I really need this book!
I think the book you reference is this one: "Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard." It chronicles her experiences as a child of drug addicted parents. The book includes numerous stories from her childhood.

She sure overcame adversity if anyone has. She lived in Poverty, they say rat infested, probaly did, and she was bullied in school, it was a rough area.
For any of you know that around the time her parent were in drugs in the time hector lavoe and manny other people in new york were doing cocaine. Its was boost. Remenber these were the times when cocaine was a boom in the city. From the cali cartel
:) When the interviewer it's sitting in such a defensive attitude, one of her leg held as a shield in front of her, you know that's all it's a fake, all of it it's unnatural, watching this it will be just an utter waste of time.
I don't think so; Liz is amazing. She cannot help it that the interviewer is bad. She still spoke the truth. Have you read her biography - seen the movie - read anything else about her? Liz did the talking anyway. the interviewer may have been inexperienced.
"One day at a time I am carving out a new life for myself." ❤
I meet Liz today when she came to speak at our Women's Fund Luncheon. Wonderful speaker with such an inspirational story.
just love this woman,what a brave soul.
Excellent, inspirational book. Liz Murray has beaten the odds and dedicated her life to making the world a more compassionate and caring place.
I am here after watching the movie about her. It's my first time knowing Liz Murray. She's brave.
Buy her book ' Breaking Night' it's so inspiring, I have highlighted my copy and it's one of my favourite books of all time! 💜✌
Mrs Pilling I got to meet her today at my school

A couple of questions, else the questions might be answered when I read 'Breaking Night'. Three defining moments in Liz's life, the death of her mother, Eva and Humanities Preparatory Academy!
1/ Was Eva at the New York Times when Liz was awarded her scholarship?
2/ What's happened to Liz's sister?
Answer to question 2 her sister is a teacher now 😊
God bless U O Liz

You're looking for a different memoir called The Glass Castle. It's excellent.
The glass castle
I love you!

What’s up with the interviewer??
never give up :)
She sure overcame adversity if anyone has. She lived in Poverty, they say rat infested, probaly did, and she was bullied in school, it was a rough area.
That leg
For any of you know that around the time her parent were in drugs in the time hector lavoe and manny other people in new york were doing cocaine. Its was boost. Remenber these were the times when cocaine was a boom in the city. From the cali cartel

Leah Rosevear You are right. Don't kill the interviewer and miss the message.
😭😢
The interviewer needs to put her foot down or put it like that in the other direction. Doesn't look respectful.
Whats wrong with this presenter with her legs
Suh vi this subject is to big for you .thats why your focused on unimportant issues
She is dangerous
I hope your mom proud of you. Gladly from heaven;)
🎉
Why would u sit like that?
