Madeline Hill’s life changes drastically when Reuben Hill pulls up to her house in a PT Cruiser. Reuben’s father deserted him and his mom in Boston. After his mother dies, he hires a private detective to help him find his long lost dad. Seems Charles/Chuck/Chip and Carl Hill did the same thing in Tennessee leaving Madeline and her mother. He then went on to Oklahoma and again left a daughter and mother, then left a small family in Salt Lake City and finally ended up in Northern California. Reuben wants to collect all of his half siblings and confront the man who deserted all of them.

Kevin Wilson’s novel is a fine easy read. The characters are likeable(even the father), the plot is easy to follow, and the journey to California only hits a few bumps along the way. Run for the Hills is thoroughly enjoyable and takes no time to involved in Hill children’s search.
