She was thirteen years old. Over the next several years, and under two assumed identities, she hitchhiked her way across America, experiencing freedom, hardship, and tragedy. At fifteen, she met a man in New York City and married him. He was thirty-six. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Through a deft balance of journalistic digging, cultural criticism, and poetic reimagining, Keane pieces together the true story of her mother's teenage years, questioning almost everything she's been told about her parents and their relationship. Along the way, she also considers how pop culture has kept similar narratives alive in her. At stake are some of the most profound questions we can ask ourselves: What's true? What gets remembered? Who gets to tell the stories that make us who we are? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Whether it's talking about painful family history, #MeToo, \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e, true crime forensics, or \u003ci\u003eGilmore Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRunaway \u003c\/i\u003eis an unforgettable look at all the different ways the stories we tell--both personal and pop cultural--create us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRunaway\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed a Best Book of the Year by NPR\u003cbr\u003e \"Keane provides a lyrical, sharp feminist analysis of her family's history.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Keane\u003c\/strong\u003e is a critic, poet, essayist, and journalist.
