Part-memoir, part cultural commentary, Runaway by Erin Keane is filled with gripping stories about her mother’s life as a teen runaway in the 1970s and how this shaped her family. With deft prose, Keane seamlessly moves between her mother’s incredible (and at times, harrowing) stories and critique of how pop culture shapes us and determines whose stories are worth telling. This book will make you wonder about your own family, which of their stories are passed down and why. An engaging, thought-provoking read that’s perfect for those who love memoirs as well as those who usually shy away from the genre.
