THE RUNAWAY

Terry Kay's The Runaway begins at the end of WWII, when returning soldiers brought home a new respect for other peoples and races. When those soldiers returned to the South, tempers flared, and lives were irrevocably changed. Dick Hill imbues this novel with a fire equal to that burning in the hearts of the returning soldiers. His resonant voice carries the reader into the Deep South while his vocal characterizations lend a sense of realism to the novel. The listener is thoroughly drawn into the tale as Hill's masterful use of accent and timbre creates vivid, unique characters whose voices become as familiar as those of cherished friends.
