"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
Seattle, 1969: A snowstorm rages as 19-year-old Paul Gorman stuffs $300 into his pocket and thumbs his way into the unknown—chasing a girl in Germany, outrunning a suffocating father, and dodging the Vietnam draft kicking at his heels. What starts as a reckless leap for freedom becomes a wild ride across continents, landing him on the sun-drenched shores of Spain’s Canary Islands. But paradise has a dark edge. Seduced by cheap thrills and sandy escapes, Gorman slips into a grifter’s game—until one desperate move slams him behind bars in Franco’s repressive regime. With six years in the notorious Prison de Barranco Seco looming for a minor infraction, and the U.S. consulate nowhere in sight, his fate teeters on a razor’s edge. In steps the U.S. with a cryptic rescue plan—salvation or a deeper trap? Blending vivid prose, Into Trouble weaves an intoxicating tapestry of youthful defiance, gut-wrenching suspense, and hard-won wisdom, evoking Into the Wild and Midnight Express. Paul Gorman’s journey isn’t just a memoir—it’s a pulse-pounding passport to a world where every choice could be the last.
