Breaking Night | Liz Murray
post image
Pickpick

Murray is the daughter of drug addicts who died of Aids. They neglected her, scandalously, but loved her in their own hopelessly dysfunctional way. By the age of six she was accustomed to watching her parents shoot up (her mother was almost blind, so her father had to help her do it). She left home at 15 and it was an extraordinary achievement. From homeless to Harvard. #truestory #highlyrecommend #memoir #lifejourney

Mariposa_Bookworm Did you see the Hallmark movie based on her story? It was very good. 4y
maggie_azevedo @Mariposa_Bookworm No, I didn't see that... thank you for letting me know there's a movie based on her story. 4y

#TheHeartsInvisibleFuries by #JohnBoyne is one of the best books I‘ve read this year. It is equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming. Words cannot accurately express how phenomenal this book is. It tells the journey of #CyrilAvery throughout his life beginning in #Ireland. Cyril endured so much pain in his life, but also found so much love. If you haven‘t read this book, you absolutely #mustread it. It‘s even better than the hype. #MagicalMarch
