Run Away to Home follows the adventures of a rebellious teen who runs away from his California home and sets off toward the east. Set in the 1980s, the story is true to life and based on actual events of the author’s life. The main character, Tyler, is a deceitful kid that is only looking out for himself. We see people come into his life who want to exploit or harm him or lead him down the wrong path and others who want to minister to him and love him through his bad behavior. Over the course of the story we see the immature, reckless and lying teenager grow into manhood both personally and spiritually. It's a tale of a deceitful kid who gradually learns great lessons about growing up and becoming aware of the impact of one's own decisions on others - and owning them.

"He was dying. Tyler could hear his labored breathing and see the way his chest rose and fell, and somehow could tell there wouldn’t be too many more breaths. He knew this was his fault. He was responsible for this man’s condition. Was it too late to make up for what he had done? He tried to remember how it had started. Memories flooded his mind, and suddenly he was seeing it all again.

Crouching down, running, I reached the large plastic garbage can that stuck up through the top of the bushes. Even though my attention was on getting away as fast as possible, I couldn’t help but notice for the first time that the bottom of the garbage can was broken and wide open. And since the bottom of the can was a foot off the ground, I figured I could crawl into it with the newly replaced garbage bag hiding my location. I climbed in quickly when I heard his voice and his heavy footsteps on the ground getting closer.
He stopped nearby, and my heart skipped a beat. I heard him say to himself, “When I catch that kid I’m going to beat the livin’ daylights out of him.” At that moment I knew what I had to do…"
