NO RULES

At 16 years-old, Sharon Dukett ran away from her stifling parents in 1960s Hartford Connecticut to join her sister in what she imagined would be the California dream. Growing up with a depressed English mother and father still mentally scarred by his service in WWII, Dukett was desperate for escape. Instead, she sets out on a journey of self-exploration against the backdrop of vivid lived history: hippies, rock n’ roll, drugs, the Vietnam War, communes, traveling across America and Canada. NO RULES is a compelling and complex memoir and a deep dive into intergenerational trauma, family, finding ourselves despite unconventional paths, and love in all its forms.
