What's it like to be a fifteen year old teen, struggling with school, parents distracted by their own struggles, and constantly feeling like a failure? Kitty Fields grew up in a typical middle-class Knox Box suburban home. Her mom hoped she would become a gymnastics star - until she busted both her ankles. Her dad used to make lots of money selling real estate - until the real estate market crashed. Now, the family has lost their home to foreclosure, and Kitty decides to go it alone and run away from home. What she finds is a gritty reality that shatters her illusions of a life of self-sufficiency. Runaway Kitty takes the lid off the seemingly perfect suburban homes of middle class America - showing the realities of families barely making ends meet, the pressures for all teens to make the grade in exclusively college-prep high schools, drugs, teen sex, stints in juvenile detention, and teen unemployment. Follow Kitty as she journeys through the suburban landscape of Knoxville, Tennessee, struggles just to eat and find a place to sleep, and finally has to face up to her own misconceptions and self-delusions. Cynthia Coe is a writer, editor, and curriculum developer. Her books include Wild Faith: A Creation Care Curriculum for Youth, Earth Our Garden Home, and Christian Nurture in the Twenty-First Century. She lives and works on her farm in Tennessee.
