Thank you so much

Yes. I think it was just solved.

This is the author .. DEFINITELY!! I cant thank you enough. Rainbowheart wrote: "I also thought of Free Spirit: Growing Up On the Road and Off the Grid, but it was published in 2013, so I think it's too recent."

OMG. I never saw this reply .. and I actually think this *may* be it! I would need to read a little more about the author to be sure .. but WOW. Thank You for your replies either way... Most recent and this one from yrs ago!

Both the books you mentioned sound like they are good reads. But neither is quite the one I am wondering about. I think the book I'm looking for takes place over the 70s.

It seemed his mother had a kind of wanderlust you might say? They weren't "on the run." I think she might've moved when she couldn't pay the rent too?? I don't think they had much money. No, she didn't kidnap him. They would settle in places long enough for him to go to school .. but I don't think he went to the same school for very many yrs in a row and she'd uproot them again. I think he was the only child. I don't remember what he said about his father .. if he had died (and mom was a widow) or if they had divorced or never married. I have no idea about that. In the interview, he didn't talk about his father.

It was definitely his mother. During the interview, the author talked about his relationship w his mother today and how it influenced his marriage. He spoke to Terry Gross (I think that’s who it was) about the relationship between his wife and his mom too.

Leaving a comment so I can hopefully find myself and my post .. as it stands now, I have no idea if my post even went up or if anyone has seen it/replied.

This book may have been published as far back as even 2009 .. but I think 2010-2011 is more likely
