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 on track for a good life and out of harm’s way. But senior year of high school tests them all, and on a hot summer’s night, one bad decision will change the course of all their lives. 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 Post

In short, the entire range of human emotions are explored in this...hopeful book about the triumphant power of the human spirit in the process of forgiveness."

"…movingly written and plotted with the heartless skill of a Greek tragedy, you’ll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob."

"Kristin Hannah lets loose here, daring her readers to keep the tears at bay."

Another great novel by Kristin Hannah. A great read! Fantastic!I read it in 1 1/2 days, didn't want to put it down.
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book will bring you to tears - you will love the characters and hate to come to the end. Well written with believable characters.
Format:Paperback
I have loved every Kristen Hannah book that I've read. Thus, it was with great anticipation that I sat down with NIGHT ROAD. I realize that the author had to set the characters up properly, but honestly, I thought I was reading teen fiction for the first third of the book. I almost expected vampires to appear. Disappointing!

Just OK
Although I love Kristan Hannah's books, I have to say that this one was just ok. For one, I thought that the book, although page turning, was too formulaic. Read more
