"It's honest and authentic, and quite simply an amazing story!" Barbara Noe Kennedy, former Senior Editor -- National Geographic Travel Books

"A well-written account about a young man's mistake and the threat of dire consequences. Our verdict: Get it." Kirkus Reviews

"Loved it! Along the lines of 'On the Road' and less depressing than 'Into the Wild'. Gorman's writing is clear and honest!" -- Victoria Irwin - Discovery

In 1969, impetuous 19-year-old Paul Gorman leaves Seattle during a snowstorm seeking adventure, dodging the draft, and escaping a domineering father. With just $300 in his pocket and blind ambition, he hitchhikes to see a girl in Germany. As a harbinger of things to come, he has run-ins with cops, criminals, and cons by the time he arrives in Europe. Spurned by the girl, he searches out sunny beaches and cheap prices, settling in Spain's Canary Islands. Grifting the streets, sleeping under fishing dories, his troubles explode, as does the suspense and intrigue.

Told with flair and sparkling with humor, Into Trouble tells the dramatic true story of a young man traveling alone, searching for his place in the world, and the thrills and dangers he experiences. In the spirit of Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Catch Me if You Can by Frank Abagnale, and Midnight Express by Billy Hayes, Gorman's writing is "honest and authentic." 52 years later, he is finally recounting his riveting odyssey and how it matured him.
