Night Road

Jude Farraday has built her life around her twins, Mia and Zach, watching over them with a devotion that edges into fear as they near the end of school on a small island in Washington State. Then Lexi Baill arrives, a girl who has grown up in foster care, and she quickly becomes Mia's closest friend and a fixture at the family's kitchen table. As senior year brings parties, college plans and the pull of independence, Jude's careful protection is put to the test by a single night.

Kristin Hannah writes about motherhood, friendship and the cost of holding on too tightly with real tenderness, letting ordinary choices carry enormous weight. For lovers of emotional family drama, and for parents of teenagers especially, it is a novel that stays with you long after the final chapter.
