NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK BY: Time, People, LitHub, and BookRiot

An unexpected road trip across America brings a family together, in this raucous and moving 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 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 novel about a family forged under the most unlikely circumstances and united by hope in an unknown future.

This story is so beautifully written, I loved it. Even though you felt you knew what would happen, each significant event was felt in my heart because of the author’s writing. This is my second book by this author, big fan!

Stunning!

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.

Engaging Story and Awesome Narrator

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.

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

I love the way this author writes. He quickly gets to the point of the story, pulls you in with the characters and I love that the story wraps up quicker than most. I am at the point in my life that I am doing only audible books and the shorter get to the point stories works great for me. Once again this author manages to create a story that is not the norm. Buy it, read it, listen to it. You won't regret it. I also loved the narrator.

Another Great one by Kevin

Kevin Wilson has a unique style of writing. Very entertaining and creative story. The characters are weirdly likeable and offbeat. Definitely worth a listen!

Creative and fun story

Mad was my favorite character but all the siblings were interesting. A unique take on the found family subject theme.

Found family

Love this author and the narrator is my favorite narrator of all audio books! It's a great story and always dark humor sprinkled in.

Sharp humor!

4 stars. Happy to see Marin Ireland as audio narrator. I love Kevin Wilson's writing. He writes sibling relationships particularly well. I enjoyed the way this type of found family story came together. Sometimes it got a little messy (Tom) but on the whole, the book was Wilson's brand of funny from the jump and I enjoyed the road trip.

Kevin Wilson Keeps Delivering

A few years ago I listened to another Kevin Wilson novel & LOVED it. This one may be even better! The character interactions are wonderful & believable. The concept makes the story interesting & the narrator is perfect. The fabric of the story makes it seem very real. It’s great fun with lots of laugh out loud moments & just as many that are very touching. Try this one! It’s very much worth your credit!

Fabulous - PICK THIS ONE! You’ll love it 😊
