"A touching and generous romp of a novel . . . Wilson makes a bold and convincing case that
every real family is one you have to find and at some point choose even if it's the one
you're born into." - New York Times Book Review In this raucous and moving new road trip novel
an unexpected journey across America brings a found family together 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 the first stop on a quest to uncover decades of family secrets.
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 for
the craziest kind of road trip imaginable 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 zany hijinks and enormous
heart Run for the Hills is a sibling story like no other-a heartwarming and humorous novel
about a family forged under the most unlikely circumstances and united by hope in an unknown
future. One car. Four strangers who share a father. A journey across America to find the man
who left them all behind.
