4.0

Published in 1973, "The Child Who Loved Roads" is the story of a child that hates adulthood and gravelled roads and loves the small tree-lined roads that lead to the hills and the farm and creativity. There, one can run and be free-spirited and safe, and stories come easily to the mind. It is a short story about the nonsense and confusion and shame of adolescence when growing up in a cookie-cutter gendered society.
