Publisher's summary

For 18 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 Mia and Zach leave the house, she worries about them. On a hot summer’s night her worst fears are realized. 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.

Great book. I didn't want to put it down . Recommend if you are looking for a great get away.

Great read

Real tear jerker makes you think you should not judge anyone from what you hear and what side of the tracts they come from

Amazing

I could relate so closely; heartbreaking but so honest and pure. The best author and Narrator I have ever read and listened too

Sweet Family Saga

Sweet story of friends, family, love, and loss. So well written that I could easily see and feel each characters sadness, heartache, Love & Joy....Sweet Family adventure thru the worst times and trails yet with hard work, truth & honor life really can work!!

Wonderful story about love and tragedy and healing.

When all is said and done, this was a wonderful story. I do think the author spent too much time “setting the stage” in getting to know all the characters I thought I was reading a novel for teenagers for a very long time
But once the story took flight, it was wonderful and really riveting A complex story that truly grabs your heart.
It was very well performed and the characters came to life. A tale about love, responsibility, family and resilience . Stay with it and you will be glad you did.

A Heart Wrenching Story

I couldn't stop listening to this book. Kristin Hannah knows how to tug at your heart strings.

Thought provoking

Could not stop listening. Many lessons within these words. Looking for her next book to enjoy.

Another excellent book…

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors! This was another book that I was unable to put down. Wonderful storyline and plot. I highly recommend!

Really good story but characters kinda drove me nuts

Another great story by Kristin Hannah. Definitely worth the read! I felt inconceivable that a family, could be so cruel to an 18 yo girl who made a horrible mistake. Also, Mia’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard. Why do audiobooks do such an awful job with young voices?

Amazing book. Can’t be missed.

The journey this loving family goes through, is one all families of teenagers should read.
