Book Description
From Kristin Hannah, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit novels Firefly Lane, The Nightingale, and The Four Winds comes a novel about how one reckless night destroys the lives of three teenagers and their families. For eighteen years, Jude Farraday has put her children's needs above her own, and it shows—her twins, Mia and Zach, are bright and happy teenagers. When Lexi Baill moves into their small, close-knit community, no one is more welcoming than Jude. Lexi, a former foster child with a dark past, quickly becomes Mia's best friend. Then Zach falls in love with Lexi and the three become inseparable. Jude does everything to keep her kids out of harm's way. But senior year of high school tests them all. It's a dangerous, explosive season of drinking, driving, parties, and kids who want to let loose. And then on a hot summer's night, one bad decision is made. In the blink of an eye, the Farraday family will be torn apart and Lexi will lose everything. In the years that follow, each must face the consequences of that single night and find a way to forget...or the courage to forgive. Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, Night Road raises profound questions about motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness. It is a luminous, heartbreaking novel that captures both the exquisite pain of loss and the stunning power of hope. This is Kristin Hannah at her very best, telling an unforgettable story about the longing for family, the resilience of the human heart, and the courage it takes to forgive the people we love. "You cannot read Night Road and not be affected by the story and the characters. The total impact of the book will stay with you for days to come after it is finished." —The Huffington Post

Jude The Obscure
Author: Thomas Hardy
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 1443420840
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
Thomas Hardy’s final literary masterpiece, Jude the Obscure is the story of Jude Fawley, a poor stonemason living in rural Wessex, whose dreams of becoming a scholar are complicated by an ill-fated romance with his spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. Jude and Sue’s attempts to defy social conventions for the sake of their love lead to misery, heartache and tragedy. Greatly concerned with the destructive rules of marriage, the novel openly criticizes Victorian society, religion and education, and modern critics hail Jude the Obscure as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought. Jude the Obscure scandalised critics upon its publication in 1895, leading to Hardy’s decision to only produce poetry and drama for the rest of his writing life. It has been adapted twice for film, and remains one of Hardy’s most widely-read novels. HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Book Description
St. Judes was an orphanage better known as a place where you could abandon a baby. Here, identical twins Hugo Buermann and Barry Benson were separated at birth and lived their lives unaware of each others existence until Barrys wife, Sandra, saw him with another woman. But that other woman was Hugos wife, Arabella, to whom she presented such proof that both women believe they were married to the same man, a man who had an allergy to chocolate. Sandra, threatened to kill him, but Arabella decided that she would poison him with the chocolates he could not resist. And so a murder was built on coincidence and suspicion. From London to Marbella, a series of coincidences reinforced suspicion and suspicion engendered yet more coincidence, like a serpent devouring its own tail until it unwittingly drew in all the boys of St. Judes.
