Question about the name of a non-fiction book?

A teacher reccomended a book to me a few months ago. I dont remember the exact details of the plot but it was about a guy who skips his high school prom and skips town and leaves everything he knows and basically drives around the country, living out of his car (or something). It's based on a true story. Sorry about the vague description!
