Among the crying, ash-covered, and shoeless passengers, Gigi, unbelievably, finds someone she recognizes--Harry Harrison, a British man and a regular at her favorite coffee shop. Gigi brings Harry to her parents' house, where they watch the television replay the planes crashing for hours, and she waits for the phone call that will never come: the call from Frankie, her younger brother. Ten years later, Gigi, now a single mother consumed with bills and unfulfilled ambitions, meets Harry, again by chance, and they fall deeply, headlong in love. But their move to London and their new baby--which Gigi hoped would finally release her from the past--leave her feeling isolated, raw, and alone with her grief. As Gigi comes face-to-face with the anguish of her brother's death and her rage at the unspoken pain of motherhood, she must somehow find the light amid all the darkness. Startlingly honest and shot through with unexpected humor, When I Ran Away is an unforgettable first novel about love--for our partners, our children, our mothers, and ourselves--pushed to its outer limits. 648 7 $a 2001 $2 fast 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Brothers and sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839671 650 7 $a Grief. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00947883 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Motherhood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026907 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063416.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013525.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B995B0C6AC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
