Synopsis

Audiobook performed by Marin IrelandNAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK BY: Time, People, LitHub, and BookRiotAn 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.

Goodreads review by Ron on May 24, 2025

Wilson’s latest novel is a slim, winsome story with the punny title “Run for the Hills.” It revolves around the mystery of an errant father, a “ridiculously attractive” man named Charles Hill. When he was present, he wasn’t a bad father. Indeed, Madeline Hill, 32, has fond memories of making sorghum......more
