Plenty is so excited to welcome NYT bestselling author (and native Tennessean) Kevin Wilson to the bookshop. You may know him from his other titles like Now Is Not the Time to Panic, and The Family Fang. His novel Nothing to See Here was selected as a Read with Jenna book club pick!
Kevin's latest, Run For The Hills, is the perfect summer read! Warmhearted, wry, and poignant, this is a road trip novel with classic appeal, about a far-flung family coming together for the first time. Infused with deadpan wit, zany hijinks, and enormous heart, this a sibling story like no other.
Kevin will be speaking with us in the bookshop, and copies of his books will be available for purchase, which he will be happy to sign.
This is a do-not-miss event- and is also free!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
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?
