Liz Murray never really had a chance in life. Born to a drug-addicted father who was in and out of prison, and an equally dependent mother who was in and out of mental institutions, she seemed destined to become just another tragic statistic. Another life wasted on the brutal streets of New York.

By the age of 15, Liz found herself homeless with nowhere to turn but the tough streets, riding subways all night for a warm place to sleep and foraging through dumpsters for food. But when her mother died of AIDS a year later, Liz's life changed for ever. With no education, with no chance at a job or a home, she realised that only the most astonishing of turnarounds could stop her heading all the way down the same path her parents took. And so she set her mind to overcoming what seemed like impossible odds - and in the process, achieved something extraordinary.

Told with astounding sincerity, Breaking Night is the breathtaking and inspirational story of how a young women, born into a world without hope, used every ounce of strength and determination to steer herself towards a brighter future. Beautifully written, it is a poignant, evocative and stirring portrait of struggle, desperation, forgiveness and survival.

　　主人公莉丝出生在纽约的贫民窟，尽管父母吸毒，莉丝仍然深爱着他们。她在毒品、艾滋、饥饿充斥的环境中度过童年。在学校，莉丝肮脏的衣着，和藏在头发里的虱子让她饱受同学嘲弄，终因逃课被送进女童院。15岁时，莉丝拼尽全力维持的家庭最终破碎，她开始流落街头，捡拾垃圾，偷东西，她整夜乘坐地铁，因为只有在这里才能温暖入梦。莉丝早就知道，自己的生活之外，还有一个光鲜明亮的世界，只是她与那世界始终相隔。
　　莉丝流落街头时，母亲因艾滋感染而死，莉丝深受触动，她决定不再继续这样的生活，她要改变命运，重返高中。无处安身的莉丝常在地铁站、走廊里学习、睡觉，她用2年的时间完成了4年的课程，并获得“《纽约时报》一等奖学金”，以优异的成绩进入哈佛大学。
　　这是一个女孩与命运抗争的故事，面对逆境与绝望，她不屈服的勇者精神，令人动容！ Liz Murray completed high school and won a New York Times scholarship while homeless, and graduated from Harvard University in 2009. She has been awarded The White House Project Role Model Award, a Christopher Award, as well as the Chutzpah Award, which was given to her by Oprah Winfrey. Lifetime Television produced a film about Murray's life, Homeless to Harvard： The Liz Murray Story. The founder and director of Manifest Living, a New York-based company that empowers adults to create the results they want in their own lives, today Murray travels the world delivering motivational speeches and conducting workshops to inspire others.

　　莉丝·默里（Liz Murray），1980年出生于纽约市布朗克斯区，父母吸毒，15岁莉丝便无家可归。她在居无定所，流浪街头的日子里，用两年时间完成了高中四年的学业，以全优的成绩考入哈佛，并获得“《纽约时报》一等奖学金”。莉丝还曾获得“白宫计划榜样奖”，及美国脱口秀女王奥普拉·温弗瑞特别颁发的“无所畏惧奖”，更受到美国前总统克林顿的接见。2003年莉丝的故事被搬上荧幕，该片获得第55届艾美奖三项提名。如今，莉丝在全球各地发表演说，以激励人们跨越困境去追寻心中的梦想，赋予人生意义，实现自我价值。
