"My name is Free. Usually when I tell people that they laugh and ask me what my real name is. I just look them dead on and repeat, 'Free.' I left my old name behind with my old life; shed both of them like a useless layer of skin. When I stepped free of that world, I took the name Free. It is my real name. I picked it myself. What could be more real than that?"
Since leaving home at the age of 18, Free has traveled the country searching for home. Her travels afford a variety of experiences, from following the Grateful Dead to waitressing in Chicago to selling jewelry in New Orleans' French Market, but nothing seems to quell her sense of unrest. All the while her estranged brother Alfie is in her thoughts. Once she finds him, perhaps she'll finally feel at home. But her world is filled with bad choices and unsavory characters, and she finds that freedom sometimes comes at a cost. The reader will feel as if they are traveling right alongside Free in this moving coming-of-age story. |

I don't write reviews very often. I think I'm a picky reader. I start a book and give it at least 10%. If it doesn't strike my interest, I put it down. I started this book and was drawn in from the beginning. I clicked with the characters immediately. I personally love to travel. I enjoyed reading this book. I hope there is a sequel. The only negative I could say about this book is that it caused me to stay up late because I couldn't put it down. Very good. |
