Night Road

A story about how one wild night wrecks the lives of three teens and their families comes from Kristin Hannah, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed books Firefly Lane, The Nightingale, and The Four Winds.

Jude Farraday has prioritized her children's needs before her own for eighteen years, and her twins, Zach and Mia, are happy, intelligent adolescents as a result. Jude is the most friendly person in their tiny, tight-knit neighborhood until Lexi Baill arrives in. A dark-past foster kid, Lexi swiftly becomes Mia's closest friend. Then Zach falls in love with Lexi and the three become inseparable.

Jude makes every effort to keep her children safe. But high school's senior year puts them to the test. It's a risky, wild season filled with drinking, driving, parties, and carefree youth. And then on a hot summer's night, one bad decision is made. The Farraday family will disintegrate in an instant, and Lexi will lose everything. Each of them has to deal with the fallout from that one night in the years that follow and either find a way to move on or have the will to forgive.

Night Road is a vivid, universal, and emotionally nuanced work that poses important queries on identity, love, forgiveness, and motherhood. This brilliant, tragic book brilliantly conveys the terrible anguish of loss as well as the incredible strength of optimism. 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.
