Through tough and tender and angry and funny journal entries, Holly spills out her story. We travel with her across the country --- hopping trains, scamming food, sleeping in parks or homeless encampments. And we also travel with her across the gaping holes in her heart --- as she finally comes to terms with her mother's addiction and death.

RUNAWAY is a remarkably uplifting portrait of a girl still young and stubborn and naive enough to hold out hope for finding a better place in the world, and within herself, to be.
