One boy. One backpack. One shot at freedom.

In 1967, fifteen-year-old Ronald Schulz packed HIS bag, left a note on his dresser, and walked away from everything he knew–Family, friends, home, and life as he knew it.

Teenage Runaway–a gripping true story of rebellion, survival, and the desperate search for identity during one of America’s most explosive decades. Faced with bullies, broken family dynamics, and a school system that crushes individuality, Schulz chose the open road over obedience–and found a world far more dangerous and transformative than imaginable.

Raw, honest, and unforgettable, this memoir captures the spirit of a lost generation–and the high cost of finding your own way.

Perfect for fans of coming-of-age memoirs, counterculture history, and stories of real-life escape.
