Runaways is a nonfiction study of a million teenagers who ran away from home. By focusing on the problems of 9 runaways it reveals the situation in an all too real way.
Anais Nin wrote"This is an important book. Nowhere else have I seen the theme of the Runaways treated so thoroughly, honestly, unflinchingly. It is important because it offers suggestions for improving a tragic situation. To run away is no longer the romantic escape to join a circus, a sailing ship, to see other lands. It is the young, the vulnerable, exposed to all the dangers of a criminally inclined culture. It is painful to read." | |  | | Saints of Molokai
