是Liz Murray的自传, 电影的名字基本上说明一切了,一个可怜的小女孩,父母吸毒,酗酒,艾滋..从十五岁开始流落街头,16岁才开始高中(美国高中四年),两年内一边工作维持生计,一边完成了4年的高中课程,还得到了纽约时报的奖学金使得她得以进入Harvard,她现在是心理学的博士,不是什么超级大款大腕之类的,但是她的故事非常inspiring,值得一看.

这个简单, 下面文字照搬wikipedia:
Liz Murray was born in the Bronx, New York on September 23, 1980 to poor, and drug-addicted parents who would later each contract HIV. She became homeless just after she turned 15, when her mother died of AIDS, and her father moved to a homeless shelter. Murray's life turned around when she began attending the Humanities Preparatory Academy in Chelsea, Manhattan.Though she started high school later than most students, and remained without a stable home while supporting herself and her sister, Murray graduated in only two years. She was awarded a New York Times scholarship for needy students and was accepted into Harvard University, matriculating in the fall semester of 2000. She left Harvard in 2001 to care for her sick father and to start motivational speaking; she resumed her education at Columbia University to be closer to him. According to her book Breaking Night, her older sister, Lisa, graduated from Purchase College in New York State and is a school teacher for autistic children.[1] In late 2006, her father died of AIDS.[2] She eventually returned to Harvard in 2006 and graduated in June 2009. As of August 2009, she had begun taking graduate courses at Harvard Summer School and would like to earn a doctorate in clinical psychology to counsel people from all walks of life.[3] She is the founder and director of Manifest Living, a company that provides a series of workshops that empower adults to create the extraordinary things in their lives.

A made-for-TV film about Murray's life Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story, was released in 2003. Liz Murray's New York Times (USA) & Sunday Times (UK) bestselling memoir "Breaking Night" was released in September 2010.
