Captivated, she followed them for three more years. In honest prose interspersed with photographs portraying the grimy beauty of nomadic life, \u003cem\u003eDirty Kids\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of how Urquhart lived alongside runaways, crust punks, and dropouts, hippies, Deadheads, and Rainbows in an attempt to belong in their world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the road took its toll, and along the way, Urquhart found suffering alongside the freedom--mental health issues, substance abuse, and fears of violence marred her journey. Despite all that, the warm, welcoming family of travelers and their radically alternative culture of sharing, generosity, and non-capitalistic collaboration forever changed her outlook on life and her understanding of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Urquhart\u003c\/strong\u003e's writing has appeared in \u003cem\u003eAdbusters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCOLORS\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMaisonneuve\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eSantiago Times\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEsquire Russia\u003c\/em\u003e.
