No Rules

A Memoir

In this coming-of-age memoir, Sharon takes you with her on a nail-biting adventure through the early 1970s after leaving her sheltered home life at 16 years old to join the hippies. Yearning for freedom, she lands in an adult world for which she is unprepared, and must learn quickly in order to survive.

As Sharon navigates the US and Canada - whether by hitchhiking, bicycle, or the back of a motorcycle - she experiences love and heartbreak, discovers who she can and cannot trust, and awakens to the women’s liberation movement while living in a rural off-grid commune. In this colorful memoir, she reflects upon the changes that reshaped her during that decade, and how the ways in which she and her peers threw off the rules meant to keep women in their place has transformed and empowered the lives of girls and women today.

A past time remembered.

This book brought back so many memories for me. I wasn't the person living the story, but my sister did in many ways. Sharon was adventurous and fearless, lived a life I would not have had the courage to live, with youthful hope and abandon. This book is so worth the read.

Bizarre

Lack of story or ultimate clarity where people constantly put themselves in dangerous situations. A more singular narration without goofy inflections might have helped.
