You can run, but you cannot hide.
This is the theme of this novel of heartache, fear, guilt, family, friendship and love.
"She was a Meckler after all; the Mecklers could move at speed. It was staying that was the problem."
Lane is a columnist who helps to solve problems. Yet, she cannot solve her own. Will running help?
Moving has always been the way to "move on" and hide lies and problems.
Can she and her son Henry move on when tragedy strikes? Will the truth come out in her own family?
This is an emotional story that will encourage you to reflect on both Lane's family and their journey and your own journey and possible secrets that should come forth.
A wonderful heartfelt book!

Oh my gosh, if I could give 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 ⭐️.... what a wonderful book! This is the first book, in a long time, that touched my heart so much and brought me to tears.
There were a few idiosyncrasies like short, clipped sentences and the “mother/grandmother” always saying “Oh, well” that I found irritating. But the basic storyline was so touching, and slowly evolving. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend!
Synopsis: Advice columnist Lane, who has moved innumerable times in her life and detaches from belongings as well as feelings, comes to terms with her life and emotions. At the loss of her husband and subsequent psychological muteness of her young son, she navigates her way through grief, self reflection, and positive changes for the future.

This book tells the story of an advice columnist going through some stuff herself. You could say she is in need of some advice and guiding herself.
Used to moving as a kid, Lane decides to move with her kid after a traumatic event. Henry doesn’t speak to anyone because of the things that happened. As the story unfolds you get a real understanding for this family and Lane’s not so great childhood.
The book is a pretty good read and I really enjoyed it. I did find there were some gaps and some things here and there that just didn’t sit right for me.
