Book Description

An inspirational memoir by a young woman who, at age fifteen, was forced out onto the streets and survived several years of homelessness before eventually making it into Harvard


Product Description
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.

작가의 참신한 상상에 즐겁고 건조한듯 따뜻한 위로가 느껴진다. 초록은 어디에나 있듯 나에게 위로가 될만한 것도 어딘가에 있겠지.

자신만의 특별한 비법이 있는듯 사람을 홀리지만 별내용이 없다

일반적 개념만 100페이지가까이 늘려놨다.

실전에 전혀 도움이 안된다

그래프를 설명하려면 그림내에 표시를 좀 명확하게 해야한다

독자로 하여금 그림내 그래프를 따로 분석하게 만든다

아주 고약한 버릇인지 책을 써본적이 없는지 짜증만 올라온다

한국인이 쓴 주식책 90%는 이따위로 쓰는 이유가 뭔지 모르겠다.
