Night Road by Kristin Hannah <— How could I possibly resist? It’s bargain priced, it’s by one of my all time favorite authors, and it’s the #1 book on all of Amazon Kindle. AND… my fellow book buds LOVE it.
Dawn: For my adult friends I have often recommended multiple Kristin Hannah (especially Winter Garden, Night Road, and The Nightingale).
Cindy J: emotional…Night Road by Kristin Hannah. I’m still not over it. …I’ve read two by Kristin Hannah (Firefly Lane and Night Road) so I think the Nightingale might be on my list too… She is an amazing writer and I was blown away by these two books!
Cindy F: I have read Night Road and Winter Garden (and recently finished The Nightingale) and loved them all. Same sad mood in each of those and all so haunting.
Julie: It’s hard to choose my all time favorite book this year! I would have to say “Night Road” by Kristin Hannah.
Erin: If you want a book that will make you bawl read “The night road” by Kristin Hannah. Omg!!!! This one hits all the fear and pain when you are a parent. So so so good. I also just read “Home Front” by Kristin Hannah. Also made me cry but not quite as good as the night road.
So what’s it about?
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.
