About the book: “Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, Kristin Hannah's Night Road raises profound questions about motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness.

"A rich, multilayered reading experience, and an easy recommendation for book clubs." —Library Journal (starred review).”

This was my first time reading Night Road, and I am grateful I finally met Jude Farraday. She’s a devoted SAHM to her twins, Mia and Zach, who are now teenagers. Mia’s new best friend, Lexi, was previously in foster care, though now her life is more settled. Jude loves Lexi and makes her part of the family. Zach also falls in love with her, literally.

Then, a tragic accident happens. All fingers point at Lexi, which tears apart her ties to the Farraday family she loves so much.

Years later, Lexi wants closure when she returns to visit Jude. Will Jude move forward and forgive Lexi, or is she not ready to let go?

Oh my, full of emotions, just as we expect from Kristin Hannah. Night Road is about incredible loss, a mother’s grief, actually the whole community comes together in their grief, as well as forgiveness. Have those tissues ready. I learned a lot from Jude and Lexi.

I received a gifted copy.
