Night Road
by Kristin Hannah
The second half of this book hit me like a freight train, and that feeling is absolutely the reason I bumped my rating up past 4 stars.
Kristin Hannah so masterfully captures a perfectly preserved moment in time and forces readers to feel as if they're living through every single thing the women at the center of her stories are experiencing. That gut-wrenching pit of guilt, the chaotic ebb & flow of grief, and the incredibly difficult road of healing were all things I felt to my core as I read – they were all things I could relate to on such an intimate level that they felt jarringly visceral.
To have an outside perspective on what it's like to lose yourself so fully to pain and heartbreak – battles that are never actually fought outside your own head – and the journey one goes through to piece themselves back together when you're not the one it's happening to is uncomfortable and inspiring and nostalgic all at once.
"Maybe time didn't heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob."
