Jude Farraday is a happily married, stay-at-home mom who puts everyone’s needs above her own. Her twins, Mia and Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. When Lexi Baill, a former foster child with a dark past, enters their lives, no one is more supportive than Jude. Lexi quickly becomes Mia’s best friend, and then Zach falls in love with her, making the three inseparable.

But senior year of high school brings unexpected dangers, and one night, Jude’s worst fears are confirmed: there is an accident. In an instant, her idyllic life is shattered, and her close-knit community is torn apart. People—and Jude—demand justice, and when the finger of blame is pointed, it lands solely on eighteen-year-old Lexi Baill.

In a heartbeat, their love for each other is shattered, the family broken. Lexi gives up everything that matters to her—the boy she loves, her place in the family, the best friend she ever had—while Jude loses even more.

When Lexi returns, older and wiser, she demands a reckoning. Long-buried feelings rise again, and Jude must face the woman she has become. She must decide whether to remain broken or try to forgive both Lexi…and herself.

Night Road is a vivid, emotionally complex novel that raises profound questions about motherhood, loss, identity, and forgiveness. It is an exquisite, heartbreaking story that speaks to women everywhere about the things that matter most.
