Why read it?

1 author picked Run for the Hills as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Like Kevin Wilson's other stories, Run for the Hills is peopled with hilarious humans.

I loved meeting thirty-two year old Mad (Madeleine) who runs an organic farm with her mom. Until Rube shows up in a PT Cruiser and claims he's her half-brother. He's on a quest across the country to find their father who abandoned them as children.

They discover each other's quirks and passions (and siblings) along their journey.

The story isn't cliche or overtly sentimental. But it is authentic and insightful.

Kevin Wilson is a treasure!
