Book Overview

For a mother, life comes down to a series of choices. To hold on... To let go.. To forget... To forgive... Which road will you take? Night Road 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 college and out of harm's way. It has always been easy-- until senior year of high school. Suddenly she is at a loss. Nothing feels safe anymore; every time her kids leave the house, she worries about them. On a hot summer's night her worst fears come true. One decision will change the course of 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.

An absolute read for any parent or teenager

This book really hit home with me in so many ways. Every moment in it related to things that happened in my own life. The struggles of being a parent wanting to protect your children but still not smother them is something I think every parent struggles with. The outcomes of decisions we make and how it affects our lives and that of our children were woven throughout this story. The differences in parenting are also clearly portrayed and some with humor. I thought the husband was quite funny at times and also very caring, while his wife seemed to be way too serious and possibly a bit cold hearted, but then as circumstances unfold, the reader begins to see both sides of the story. You really seem to be put in a position to decide which one of these two you would identify with as this story unfolds. And of course there are the children who seem to be caught in the middle of all of it. I highly recommend this book to any parent, especially ones who are in the throws of the teen world where it seems our children begin to phase us out and we get replaced by their friends. Lots of lessons to be learned by both parents and teens in this book.

A surprise read that I do recommend

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!!

At first I wasn’t sure I would like this book but after the first couple Of chapters, I found myself living through the characters. This story hits hard and stirs the emotions. Beautiful story!

Night Road

This is an excellent story. Kristin Hannah is the best author

Get your tissues out before you start reading.

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.
