Book Overview
For eighteen years, Jude Farraday has put her children's needs above her own, and it shows--her twins, Mia and Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. When Lexi Baill moves into their small, close-knit community, no one is more welcoming than Jude. Lexi, a former foster child with a dark past, quickly becomes Mia's best friend. Then Zach falls in love with Lexi and the three become inseparable.
Jude does everything to keep her kids out of harm's way. But senior year of high school tests them all. It's a dangerous, explosive season of drinking, driving, parties, and kids who want to let loose. And then on a hot summer's night, one bad decision is made. In the blink of an eye, the Farraday family will be torn apart and Lexi will lose everything. In the years that follow, each must face the consequences of that single night and find a way to forget...or the courage to forgive. Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, Night Road raises profound questions about motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness. It is a luminous, heartbreaking novel that captures both the exquisite pain of loss and the stunning power of hope. This is Kristin Hannah at her very best, telling an unforgettable story about the longing for family, the resilience of the human heart, and the courage it takes to forgive the people we love. "You cannot read Night Road and not be affected by the story and the characters. The total impact of the book will stay with you for days to come after it is finished." --The Huffington PostFormat:Paperback

A surprise read that I do recommend
Published by NM2 , 2 months ago
I did not expect this book to resonate so deeply with me, but it was definitely worth the read. The characters are interesting and their actions thought-provoking. The growth and character development gripped me. Although some were developed as extreme examples, the premise for each felt real and relatable. I stopped all other activities to finish this book. For me, that is saying alot!
Emotional and gripping!!

Great book. Very emotional story. I could easily relate to many parts of this book. It has been a long, long time since a book moved me this much. Great story line. This is only the second book I read by Kristin Hannah, the first being firefly lane, which was also good, so I am looking forward to many more! Thank you Kristin Hannah!
Very compelling!

Kristin Hannah is a real artist at character development and compelling storytelling I have been moved and pulled into everyone of her books that I have read. However, I really feel each book should come with a complimentary box of kleenex.
