The love she had for her parents is amazing. And also the determination to follow her dreams is very inspirational.

Liz Murray's story of her childhood, and her determination to survive made me feel proud of her and, allowed me to celebrate my own triumph over my own childhood. Homeless to Harvard provides the reader with a 'horrible' insight into the lives of the millions of people who live in fear of living on the street, of not enough to eat and fear of life. Many of us who come from families ridden with drugs and alcohol learn to 'reinvent' ourselves. However, no matter how many changes we experience we still are tied to our parents and our beginnings. Liz's love for her family of origin was real and accepting and gave her the ability to love others, truly amazing story! Donna

This book is a great book! I didn’t want to put it down! It gets really deep into detail about some of the rough times a homeless person has to go through, it’s a very touching story.

This book had a profound effect on my heart and soul. I also came from a loving family along with strong spiritual roots but this book reminds you how poverty keeps a strong hold on your self identity and how you can easily put limits on your goals because of it. This book helped remind me that we are all just people and we determine our own destiny by our choices. AMAZING READ!!
