About this audiobook
The Boy Who Ran Away to New York is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about fourteen-year-old Tommy Whitaker, who flees his troubled Ohio home—marked by his mother’s difficult boyfriend and his absent father—and takes a Greyhound bus to Manhattan in search of the dad who once promised him the city. Arriving with little money and a cracked phone, Tommy finds Ray living in a small Upper West Side apartment. Over two transformative weeks filled with bagels, Central Park bike rides, late-night guitar sessions, and honest conversations, father and son slowly rebuild their fractured bond. When Tommy’s mother arrives to confront the situation, difficult choices emerge, leading to a hopeful new arrangement where Tommy gets to stay in New York for the semester. Warm, humorous, and deeply human, the novel explores themes of second chances, family, and finding home in unexpected places.
