Sometimes the road home runs through everything you tried to forgetAfter a failed relationship and an unsettled teaching career, Sara Barlow returns to her childhood home in Arlington, Virginia, hoping for a fresh start. But when she applies for a job at her old high school, a chance glimpse into the gymnasium shakes her to the core-she spots the man she suspects was involved in a classmates violent death a decade earlier.Haunted by the past, Sara confronts the memories shes spent years trying to suppress: her sister Suzannes fatal car crash, her secret summer with the reckless Devlin Barrie, and the anonymous 911 call she made after witnessing what she believes was a murder. As the construction of Interstate 66 physically fractures her community, Sara grapples with emotional fault lines of her own-guilt, silence, and buried truth.Set against the backdrop of suburban upheaval in the 1970s and 80s, Road Longer Than Memory is a compelling story of memory, reckoning, and the cost of what we leave unsaid.Perfect for fans of Tana French and William Kent Krueger
