The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise By Colleen Oakley

In "The Runaway," Tanner Quimby, a twenty-one-year-old college dropout, finds herself in need of a place to live. She jumps at the chance to work as a live-in caregiver for Louise Wilt, an eighty-four-year-old woman with a penchant for vodka and a mysterious past. Despite their initial reluctance to live together, Tanner and Louise form an unlikely bond as they navigate the challenges of their new living arrangement.

As Tanner settles into her role as Louise's caregiver, she begins to notice strange things about her employer. Louise keeps her garden shed locked up tight, and the local news is fixated on a suspect in a major jewelry heist who bears a striking resemblance to Louise. When Louise suddenly appears in Tanner's room in the middle of the night, insisting that they leave town immediately, Tanner realizes that there is more to Louise than meets the eye.

As they embark on a journey to outrun their pasts, Tanner and Louise form a deep bond that transcends their age difference. Together, they navigate the challenges of life on the run, learning to trust each other and themselves in the process.
