Outrunning the Past
A new novel
by Tom O'Connor
"Tom O'Connor’s 'Outrunning the Past' offers an honest and hopeful portrait of resilience, reminding readers that the concept of each generation is getting better than the one before it is possible, and that healing often begins when we stop running and start listening to the parts of ourselves that still need care." Nicole Runyon, Detroit, Michigan
"Reading 'Outrunning the Past' felt like sitting with a trusted friend who's walked through fire and lived to tell the tale. Tom O'Connor weaves family scars, raw survival, and hard-won redemption into a novel that stays with you long after the last page. If you're carrying the weight of the past or helping others do the same, this book offers the kind of real, redemptive truth that truly sets hearts free." Belinda Morey, Arbor Vitae, WI
