Miles from Nowhere tells the story of a teenage immigrant runaway in the Bronx, in the 1980s. Who wouldn't want to read it? Who doesn't try to imagine a young life of independence at the cost of all safety? I definitely fantasized about it, with how boring and regimented my adolescent years were. This story does get pretty dark, as our hero Joon has to overcome some terrible stuff. The world can be pretty dangerous.
