From back cover:

To make any progress in controlling this growing tragedy, we must first understand why these teenagers are running away. This book takes us a long way toward reaching this understanding, particularly with respect to chronic "runners." It begins by dispelling some of the more common myths surrounding the separation process, or that the runaway is a "bad" kid who is gathered from interviews with runaways themselves and some of the people they meet on the road, the authors point out that most of these youngsters are not running to something but away from something--usually abuse.

Interweaving the experiences of the runaways in their own words and research from a broad spectrum of disciplines, this book looks closely at the relationship between abuse and running away and the impact abuse has on the way youngsters view themselves and the world around them. It also examines the factors that precipitate the decision to leave home. Perhaps most important, this book provides explicit guidelines for evaluating what we are currently doing to combat this tragic situation and what we might be doing.

Gently used soft cover (paperback) book. It's an ex-library book.
