Synopsis :
It is about the story of a homeless girl named Liz Murray on her journey to Harvard University. Liz Murray is one of two daughters of an extremely dysfunctional Bronx family. She is born to poor and drug-addicted parents, both of whom would later contract HIV. Her father is quite intelligent and watches Jeopardy! and knows all the answers. As a young girl, Murray lives with her sister, their drug-addicted, schizophrenic mother, and their father. She is removed from the home and put into the care system as her father cannot take care of her. At 15 she moves in with her mother, sister, and grandfather who sexually abused her mother and her aunt. After a run-in with her grandfather, she runs away with a girl from school who is being abused at home. After her mother Jean Murray dies of AIDS, which she got from sharing needles during her drug abuse, she gets a 'slap in the face' by her mother's death and begins her work to finish high school, which she amazingly completed in two years, rather than the usual four. She is awarded a New York Times scholarship for needy students and is accepted into Harvard University.
