An unexpected road trip across America brings a family together, in this heartfelt new novel from the bestselling author of Nothing to See Here.

Ever since her dad left them twenty years ago, it’s been just Madeline Hill and her mom on their farm in Coalfield, Tennessee. While it’s a bit lonely, she sometimes admits, and a less exciting life than what she imagined for herself, it’s mostly okay. Mostly.

Then one day Reuben Hill pulls up in a PT Cruiser and informs Madeline that he believes she’s his half sister. Reuben—left behind by their dad thirty years ago—has hired a detective to track down their father and a string of other half siblings. And he wants Mad to leave her home and join him on a road trip to find them all.

As Mad and Rube—and eventually the others—share stories of their father, who behaved so differently in each life he created, they begin to question what he was looking for with every new incarnation. Who are they to one another? What kind of man will they find? And how will these new relationships change Mad’s previously solitary life on the farm?

Infused with deadpan wit and enormous heart, Run for the Hills is a sibling story like no other—a novel about a family forged under the most unlikely circumstances and united by hope in an unknown future.

Engaging Story and Awesome Narrator

I usually don’t pay too much attention to the narrator when I listen to audio books. That role has typically been just to read to me when I mow the lawn, or go for a walk, etc. When I listened to one of Kevin Wilson’s previous books, “Nothing to See Here” I was very impressed by Marin Ireland’s reading of the book and her range of using individual character voices. That experience sold me on the recent release of “Run for the Hills” which is an equally enjoyable listening experience. The combination of Kevin’s story and Marin’s voice is excellent.

Kevin W finds that reality can be as bizarre as his imagination, and has heart

I don’t wanna say anything about the story other than if you’ve read any of Kevin’s books and enjoyed them then this is a must read. He has shifted his genre and kept all of his skills and talents alive. I hope he writes more because it really does a lot from my soul.

Beautiful story of finding your way

Narration is great- characters come to life in a tragic story of a sociopath and the people affected.

Great narrator

Nice story. Enjoyed it. A little slow in places but worth the read and feel good ending.

Siblings

A bizarre little story with the idea of how people are connected. It was such a sweet story.
