I loved the movie, I loved liz's character the most. Even though her parents were drug addicts, they loved their children more than anything. Do to her mother getting worse and going blind... Liz's world stumbles and falls all around her. Once her mother passes away, father in shelter, sister living her own life, Liz takes the hand of opportunity and leap of faith and goes to school. When she becomes successful in school, she goes to college. Although her life started off as horrible and dreadful, she was able to make a turn around and make something of herself.
