^ Yes, Marie. If you want to take a significantly different route, it can take a lot of courage, but one of the nice things about modern Western society is that it does allow for many variations from the norm. In Britain the big city centers are more used to the unusual and many young people drift there and hopefully find kindred spirits. Some lifestyles mean making sacrifices; relocating/finding new friends/being excluded from some jobs, etc. But here's a very uplifting book about a pioneer determined to be his own person against the odds. It's an easy-to-read autobiog and has been made into a film too. Both carry a coveted 4-star Lisna recommendation.
