No Rules

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 sixteen 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 whom she can and cannot trust, and awakens to the growing
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.
