Night Road by Kristin Hannah
There’s something about this author’s books that gets right
to the heart of human emotion, which is probably why I enjoy them so much. In Night Road, Kristin Hannah explores
motherhood and loss in a way that brought me to tears a number of times.
I related deeply to Jude Farraday, who tried so hard to be
the perfect mother and to present a buttoned-up, picture-perfect exterior to
the world … until the day she suffered a loss so devastating that she couldn’t
do it anymore.
I also identified with Lexi Baill, a confused teen just
beginning to discover who she was when her life was changed forever by a bad
choice.
In fact, I empathized with just about all the characters in
this book because their personalities were so complex and believable. What I
love the most about this author’s books is that there are no clear-cut “bad
guys” and “good guys” in them. Just humans trying their best and sometimes
failing. Attempting to move forward but often getting stuck. And learning –
usually in an agonizingly slow way – what life and love are all about.
