Just After Midnight | Catherine Ryan Hyde
2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes an uplifting and poignant novel about friendship, trust, and facing your fears. No longer tolerating her husband's borderline abuse, Faith escapes to her parents' California beach house to plan her next move. She never dreamed her new chapter would involve befriending Sarah, a fourteen-year-old on the run from her father and reeling from her mother's sudden and suspicious death. While Sarah's grandmother scrambles to get custody, Faith is charged with spiriting the girl away on a journey that will restore her hope: Sarah implores Faith to take her to Falkner's Midnight Sun, the prized black mare that her father sold out from under her. Sarah shares an unbreakable bond with Midnight and can't bear to be apart from her. Throughout the sweltering summer, as they follow Midnight from show to show, Sarah comes to terms with what she witnessed on the terrible night her mother died. But the journey is far from over. Faith must learn the value of trusting her instincts--and realize that the key to her future, and Sarah's, is in her hands.

"I kept having dreams...where she wasn‘t dead at all — I would see her, & I‘d say, ‘Mom.They told me you were dead.‘ And it just made so much more sense that they would be wrong. That it was all just a big mistake somehow. It‘s not stupid. It has nothing to do with intelligence or stupidity. That shock we feel at the beginning comes with its own denial, & it‘s...there for a reason. It cushions us until we‘re strong enough to take it all in."
