Their impact on Violet's and Marigold's lives was indelible. With a few exceptions, they are flawed and dangerous. The secondary characters are totally believeable. Told in their voices, ANYWHERE TO RUN follows the lives of the sisters as they try to survive their new realities which now house seeming insurmountable obstacles. Neither had planned to become a murderer or unexpectedly pregnant and the victim of an abusive man. Violet and Marigold are well-developed characters who once had very different plans for how their lives would go. Can they find their way out of racially oppressive Jackson, Mississippi, and make a life elsewhere? Their parents tried to teach them how to live in a white world, but things went horribly wrong for both of them and they found themselves on the run. This was a troubled time in a troubled place and this was where Violet and Marigold Richards lived. Their crime? They had come to Mississippi to help Black citizens get the right to vote. It was the summer of 1964 when three young men were murdered. "A gripping story that addresses serious themes." Anywhere You Run
