An inspiring and exceptionally moving account of growing up in the most difficult of circumstances, having the courage to seize opportunity, and embracing the happiness that can only be found within.

As a child, the only solid foundation in Lauralee Summer's life was her wonderfully eccentric and idealistic mother. Although forced to bounce between welfare hotels and homeless shelters, Lauralee received constant instruction on how to find joy in the smallest things and to see the adventure in adversity: But the years of transience were difficult. Friendships were fleeting. Privacy was hard to come by and schooling was erratic.

Finally, while attending high school in Massachusetts, Lauralee's accomplishments in the classroom led to her acceptance to Harvard, and her performance on the wrestling team earned her a scholarship. But this remarkable achievement thrust her into yet another strange and unfamiliar world. The media, hungry for the story of a girl and her journey from "Homeless to Harvard", transformed the author into an unwitting emblem of the American Dream. Yet despite her status as a curiosity and the frequent subject of rumour, Lauralee learned to adapt and thrive on the hallowed Harvard campus.
