This novel inspired me to take another avenue in life. Prior to reading "Always Running", I was lost in the cycle of "Living La Vida Loca." At one time in my life, I was trapped in the revolving door of "doing life on the installment plan". However, as a result of reading, "Always Running" my life has transformed from a negative to a positive. From one that had no hope, to one has hope and that desires to be a positive role model for others to emulate. If anyone has a family member that may be considered as an "at-risk youth" I highly recommend that they purchase this novel.
