Set over a period of twenty-four hours, bestselling author Ann Patchett's new novel, "Run," is a pulse-pounding tale of secrets, responsibility, and the importance of family. Bernard Doyle is the former mayor of Boston, and he desperately wants his two sons, Tip and Teddy, to follow in his footsteps, despite their continued resistance to the path. Then, when tragedy strikes in a blinding New England snowstorm, Bernard suddenly must reevaluate his priorities as he struggles to rebuild his broken family. Moving seamlessly from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard to a home for retired Catholic priests in Boston, this is Pratchett's most compelling and ambitious work to date.
