  this is a terrific movie that tells the true life story of a young girl who grows up on the streets of NYC, and just trying to survive everyday life. A very inspiring tale.

  It's been awhile sence I've seen it but I remember really loving it at 12 years old. It was one of the most powerful movie I had seen.

  This is such a good movie. It's sad, but still a great movie, and an encouragement to people who are in this situation.

  Based on a true story. Liz Murray is a young girl who is taken care of by her loving, but drug-addicted parents. Liz becomes homeless at 15 and after a tragedy comes upon her, she begins her work to finish high school.
  
  inspiring and motivating.
