Night Road

Review: Night Road - Kristin Hannah - March 2011
Are you a fan of Kristin Hannah's books, her books for me personally are always a touch and go as their have been some good ones and ones that I haven't enjoyed as I was in two minds about picking up Night Road as her second to latest Winter Garden just wasn't me , but I am glad I picked this up as it reminded me of the writings of Jodi Picoult and Barbara Delinsky. In Night Road we are met with Lexie Ballis who has been in and out of foster homes and after her mother dies, a distant relative is located and at age 14 Lexie goes to live with her great- aunt Eva. It is here that she starts school and becomes friends with Mia Faraday and her twin brother Zach. As the story progresses we see over the next four years, the three of them become close and eventually Zach and Lexie become a serious item . Though in a blink of an eye , all can change as coming home from a party with Lexie driving, they crash the car and Mia is killed . Lexie and Zach are soon split as Jude Faraday is determined to see Lexie behind bars, Lexie however has a secret - she is 5 months pregnant. As the story goes on we see that in a blink of an eye lives can change dramatically as Lexie is carted off to prison and Zach is left to raise a baby girl. The novel then follows the lives of Zach, Grace and Lexie and the aftermath of Lexie's release from Prison.

  1. It is a book that is especially sensitive to relationships and how our own issues can cause such sorrow to another who tries hard to be loved. Written well and recommend this to anyone. Especially if you want to be in touch with your emotions. Powerful.
