Twenty Something

Ron left the only home he had ever known at twenty-two, with a one-way ticket and no fixed plan. Seven years later, at twenty-nine, he revisits that period in writing, recording his thoughts, emotions, and the lessons he took from years of life on the road.

The book blends prose and poetry to trace the most turbulent stretch of his life. It follows him through a major decision he made entirely on his own, his efforts to keep going while feeling lost and doubting himself, and his gradual arrival at a sense of calm in the face of uncertainty.

Though the story is told from the viewpoint of someone in his twenties, its concerns are universal. Readers of any age who are living through a period of change may recognize their own experiences in its pages.
