I have only started reading Kristin Hannah about a year ago, but have not been disappointed with any of the books I have read.
Night Road was an amazing story! First we meet Lexi Baill whose was born to a heroin addicted mother and spent most of her young life in foster homes until they found her Aunt Eva. She promises Eva that if she keeps her she won't regret it. Lexi and her aunt develop a beautiful relationship although Eva knew nothing of raising kids, never had any of her own.
On her first day of high school, in her new home in Port George, Washington, she makes her first friend Mia Farraday, an outcast, like herself. Mia was the twin sister of Zach Farraday, a popular jock who dragged Mia along in order to try to help her fit in. Soon Lexi becomes just like a family member, they do everything together. Jude Faraday, the mother of Zach and Mia becomes the mom Lexi never had.
This book shows how teenagers push the envelope, learning responsibilities come with consequences and make a decision that changes all of their lives. A family once so close now broken apart. This story is heart wrenching and I challenge you to read it without a box of kleenex by your side. The characters were so real, you felt like you knew them personally.
Kristin Hannah stirs up so many emotions in this book, you won't be disappointed if you read it. I could easily see this book on the big screen someday.
