Books like Run, hide, repeat by Pauline Dakin


Pauline Dakin’s memoir recounts her early years growing up on the move after her mother abruptly relocated herself, her son, and her brother thousands of miles away from family and friends. Years later, Dakin learns that the family’s sudden relocation was tied to a covert anti‑organized‑crime operation, and that her mother had been living in protective custody. The book explores how this secret, the shroud of guilt and fear, and the revelations of betrayal shaped Dakin’s childhood and later life. As she revisits the events, the memoir moves from uneasy acceptance to a deep reflection on love, deception, and the need for personal truth.
