Jude Farraday is a happily married, stay-at-home mom who
puts everyone’s needs above her own. Her twins, Mia and
Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. When Lexi Baill enters
their lives, no one is more supportive than Jude. A former
foster child with a dark past, Lexi quickly becomes Mia’s
best friend. Then Zach falls in love with Lexi and the three
become inseparable. But senior year of high school brings
unexpected dangers and one night, Jude’s worst fears are
confirmed: there is an accident. In an instant, her idyllic
life is shattered and her close-knit community is torn
apart. People—and Jude—demand justice, and when the finger
of blame is pointed, it lands solely on eighteen-year-old
Lexi Baill. In a heartbeat, their love for each other will
be shattered, the family broken. Lexi gives up everything
that matters to her—the boy she loves, her place in the
family, the best friend she ever had—while Jude loses even
more.
When Lexi returns, older and wiser, she demands
a reckoning. Long buried feelings will rise again, and Jude
will finally have to face the woman she has become. She must
decide whether to remain broken or try to forgive both
Lexi…and herself.
Night Road is a vivid,
emotionally complex novel that raises profound questions
about motherhood, loss, identity, and forgiveness. It is an
exquisite, heartbreaking novel that speaks to women
everywhere about the things that matter most.
