laurieb755 's review for:
Run for the Hills
by Kevin Wilson
hopeful
reflective
Oof, I wanted to like this story by Kevin Wilson (https://www.wilsonkevin.com/bio/) but I found it difficult to relate to the characters, except perhaps for Mad. Oh, and I was curious to see if the quartet found who and what they were looking for.
This is the story of a road trip initiated by Rube (in his 40s) as he picked up Mad (in her 30s), then several states later Pep (in her 20s) and finally, several states later Tom (in his 10s). Turns out they are siblings – same father but different mothers. They are heading west in search of their father and some closure about the "why" of his leaving and his lack of keeping in touch with them.
Why did I like Mad? She seemed to do the most sharing of her story and she felt the most mature of the siblings. Of course, Pep and Tom being much younger they didn't have as much in the way of their personal stories and their maturity was still developing. Rube had more difficult circumstances that led him to want to search for his half siblings and father.
I would say give the book a try; if you can find a way to latch onto the story then you might just enjoy the road trip and resolution.
