About this listen
In this memoir of courage, resilience, and harrowing violence, author Jenny Cafaro shares her deeply personal journey.
Jenny’s dad “Grizz” was as large as his boisterous laugh and hailed as his daughter’s hero. High on acid, the father of four girls turned violent, triggering fear and unspeakable misery that sent the girls running.
Jenny’s mom was an authentic 70's hippy who grew up on the streets and in the system. She worked her fingers to the bone to keep her family together, but the odds were against her. The idea of her girls living the same life she had lived, sent her mental health spiraling.
The Cafaro girls run to Florida, then Kentucky, and fight to stay together. In Kentucky, they learn to live off the land and cherish what they do have, each other.
Two things they learned from the Appalachians:
you can never give up...and never stop running.
Run, girls is evocative and inspiring and will leave you feeling that you, too, could conquer the world.
