Finished A Book, The Other Story - from Harvard to Homeless - Need Feedback
I just finished a book, and have been researching my next steps... and found that before I do anything, I'd love some outside feedback. My best friend loves it, my boss's wife loves it, my former therapist loves it... but maybe they are a little biased? The book, "In Spite of: The other journey from Harvard to Homeless," an autobiography with a memoir theme? Years ago, with the help of professors I met in my graduate program at Harvard, I founded a non-profit girls program; I was a professional…See More

"Thank you. I have so many questions I don't know where to begin!
BTW - I love your posts, especially in such a deluge of information, I've only found a couple people I consistently appreciate, and you are one."

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a mom. I've come through a life many find hard to believe (I've been told it's the equivalent of an entire season of Oprah), but I made it, as Liz Murray, from homeless to Harvard. I became a well know athlete, traveled the world, and found ways to give back. I even founded a non-profit girls program. Then, just when I found the only thing I cared about, or wanted out of life anymore was to be a mother a wife... my world was devistated... I hit the flip side and went from Harvard to Homeless! Now I'm just trying to pick up the pieces.
