Kristi wakes on a bench in a fog so thick she can't see her own hands.
She doesn't know how she got there. She doesn't know where she's going. Then a silver bus rolls out of the gray, its driver wearing a grin that never seems to move. And because being alone in the dark is the one thing Kristi has never been able to do, she climbs aboard.
She is not the only passenger.
There is an old Kentucky farmer clutching a shoebox he won't set down. A hollow-eyed drunk in the back with a bottle that never runs empty. A young Marine in his dress blues, certain he is finally headed home. And every one of them is carrying something they could never lay down in life.
A word left unsaid.
A person they never forgave.
A lie they never outran.
A goodbye they never got to make.
The midnight bus does not stop until you are ready. And there is only one way off: straight through the thing you spent your whole life running from.
For some, the ride leads to a reunion worth crossing heaven for. For others, it leads to the very thing they feared most.
Strangers on a Midnight Bus is a Southern ghost story about grief, guilt, grace, and the strangers set down in our path at the exact moment we need them. It will make you laugh on one page and break your heart on the next. And before it is over, it just might have you reaching for the phone.
Some rides you don't get to choose.
Climb aboard.
The sixth novel in the Entering Scott County series. Reads completely on its own.
