"Why do we always hurt those we love the most?"
Featured on The TV Book Club on More4 on 17 Jul 2011.
If you like tragedies that will have you bawling your eyes out for most of the story, Night Road is for you. As always with Kristin Hannah, this novel dives deep into what it’s like to be a woman facing unimaginable circumstances.
Set in a small town near Seattle, it follows a mother of boy-girl twins, her son’s girlfriend Lexi (who is also her daughter’s best friend), and the tight bonds between them - until tragedy strikes.
When Lexi is blamed, each character finds their own way to cope with the heartache. With well-developed characters, raw emotion, and relatable challenges, Night Road is a heart-wrenching and beautifully written story about grief, forgiveness, and finding a way forward after the unthinkable.

Lexi and Mia are inseparable from the moment they start high school. Different in so many ways Lexi is an orphan and lives with her aunt on a trailer park, while Mia is a golden girl blessed with a loving family, and a beautiful home. Yet they recognize something in each other which sets them apart from the crowd, and Mia comes to rely heavily on Lexi's steadfast friendship. Mia's beloved, and incredibly good-looking, twin brother Zach, finds life much less complicated than his sister. Jude thought she'd never have to worry about her son, that he'd always sail through life easily achieving whatever he, and his family, wanted and expected but then he fell in love. The summer they graduated is a time they will always remember, and one they could never forget. It is a summer of love, best friends, shared confidences and promises. Then one moment one night changes them all forever. As hearts are broken, loyalties challenged and hopes dashed, the time has come to leave childhood behind and learn to face the future.
