I Can Run, But I Can't Hide

By: Patrick, Kathleen

What was school like before cell phones? Before social media?
How did kids communicate with each other?
How did young teens deal with peer pressure in a less complicated time?

"Kathleen Patrick portrays humanity at its flawed worst and inspiring best."

From the best-selling author of Airmail: A Story of War in Poems and Mercy, comes I Can Run, But I Can't Hide, a riveting story about the pressures of youth to conform in a world filled with expectations.

I Can Run, But I Can't Hide explores the junior high environment of the mid-1980s. Jason Butler searches for validation from his peers while coming to terms with a past family tragedy. It is a journey into the poignant areas of grief, guilt, and hope, and the roles they can play in a young man's life.

"Patrick's voice will stay with you long after you read the last page."
