I read Here Beside the Rising Tide by this author earlier this year. It was like a fever dream and I really liked it despite having a few elements that didn’t work so well for me. When Hyperion Avenue reached out with an early copy of this book, I thought, “why not?”

Run for the Hills follows Mad (Madeline) Hill as she meets half-siblings Rube (Reuben), Pep (Pepper), and Tom (Theron) on a road trip to find the father who abandoned each of them.

Lillian went to high school with Madison, until Lillian took the fall for Madison’s bad behavior and got expelled. For years they’ve kept in touch through letters, Lillian staying stagnant and not achieving much while Madison soared: prestigious college, married to a senator, etc.
