This harrowing true story reads like a psychological thriller-I was haunted by it. -Plum Johnson, author of They Left Us Everything From a childhood marked by secrets and sudden moves to an adulthood where truth-and lies-of the past are laid bare, Run, Hide, Repeat is a fascinating story of family, deception, and forgiveness. -Sonja Larsen, author of Red Star Tattoo Mystery rolls in like the tide in this story - without fail, over and over. -Chatelaine This twisted page-turner brings the truth to the forefront, while Dakin tries to master the art of forgiveness. -Canadian Living This is a well-paced and engrossing memoir where Dakin's skills as long-time CBC health reporter uncover one final, startling revelation. -The Globe and Mail Run, Hide, Repeat is part crime thriller, part scientific analysis of delusional disorder. -Calgary Herald
