Any teen who's ever thought of running away from home needs to read this novel to learn what life on the road is really like. Lisa is just thirteen years old when she helps herself to some of her Dad's cash and takes off with her older boyfriend, Bill. It seems so easy - "We'll just run away" - but the reality is that together with the freedom comes a constant struggle to find food, warmth, a place to sleep, and another ride. The next vehicle to stop might hold a friendly trucker who's happy to share his lunch ... or some wild drunks who are planning a gang rape.

Elisabeth Freeman is a writer, speaker, and mother of four teens. But she was once a runaway who spent two years living on the road with her boyfriend, and this gives her book a powerful authenticity. Some of the most horrific experiences described in the novel - the ones that you hope are fictional, such as a rape at knifepoint - actually happened to her.

As Lisa and Bill travel from one crisis to another, the action never flags and the book becomes increasingly difficult to put down. It ends with Lisa about to make a major decision. Will she try to take control of her life? You'll have to wait for Book 2 of this trilogy to find out!

Lisa Freeman did a brilliant job of capturing teenage emotions like angst and loneliness in this book. Every teenager will be able to identify with the main character, who has yet much to learn about love and being content. The author definitely speaks the language of young readers. Her book will help young people to understand that they are not alone and it will help parents to understand what their kids are going through. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
