Jesska6029, your review makes me want to read Runaway: A Tragedy of Youth! Obviously "Jim" made some very poor choices, but you left me wondering if there was possibly some redeeming issue, even a very small something, that might have turned his life around by the end of the story. I hope so, but I know life doesn't always happen that way when poor choices are made.

This book made me question a lot of things. I am glad you want to read the book!!

Great review! Law isn't at the top of my interest list, but this sounds like a great book to read!
Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
