Leaving Home — Stephanie Doyon

When you're 18, life gets complicated

Miranda has always been the "good" girl: good grades, good manners, good grief. She's so tired of always doing the right thing -- and waiting for her real life to start. That's when her friend Kirsten suggests something radical: why not blow off college for a year and travel across the country instead? No rules, no maps, just two girls on the road. It's a crazy plan, one that good girl Miranda would never even think of doing. Which is exactly why she says yes. But Miranda's about to find out that your troubles have a way of following you, no matter how far you run.
