Siblings embark on a crazy road trip across America in this heartfelt, hilarious story. From the New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here.

Ever since her dad left them twenty years ago, it's just been Madeline Hill and her mother on their Tennessee farm. It's mostly okay. Maybe sometimes a bit lonely.

Then one day a stranger pulls up in a rental car and informs Madeline that he's her half brother, Reuben, abandoned by their dad thirty years ago. Reuben has hired a detective to track down their father, along with a string of other half siblings. And he wants Mad to join him on a cross-country road trip to find them all.

As Mad and Rube and eventually the others share stories of their father, they realise he behaved quite differently in all of his lives, and begin to question what he was looking for each time. What kind of man will they find? Who are they to one another? 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 family saga like no other-a novel about a family forged in unlikely circumstances, united by hope in an unknown future.
