Samenvatting:

Hated by Nina, almost given to Benny, a ride with a scary man until she escaped to hide in the wet ditch. What now? This day had not gone well, and she had to save herself.

RUNAWAY tells the plight of a young girl as she struggles to find love, hope, and peace. She has been told her scars are the 'devil's kiss' but no other explanation of how she got them. She has no mother or father - only Nina. Nina has told her 'no one will ever love a cripple. She feels scarred and ugly. Unloved. Unwanted. What else could she do? She only no other choice....

Two elderly ladies enter her life, and things start to turn around - until Child Protective Services enter the picture. Rosie's world is turned upside down and inside out as she tries to make sense of life. Then, something wonderful happens that gives her reason to believe in hope and faith and her reason for living.

RUNAWAY is a story of faith, hope, and healing as one young girl learns to "trust the wait". Her patience and faith are both challenged until she comes to the full realization of what real love can do. Although child abuse and abandonment are addressed, there is no graphic detail that would make this an R-rated book.
