Leah Bishop is the titular character in Runaway, the first in the City Streets Trilogy. Leah's Journal, the prequel to the series, tells the story of Leah's life in her own words. Raised by a single mother who struggled to provide for them, Leah grew up fast and learned to trust herself over anyone else.

A quote from her journal -- "Experiences shape us, they shape the way we see the world, what we expect, and how we react. If you don't believe this, then you'll never understand me so you may as well stop reading."
