Road Longer Than Memory

Sometimes the road home runs through everything you tried to forget

After  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 classmate’s violent death a decade earlier.


Haunted  by the past, Sara confronts the memories she’s spent years trying to  suppress: her sister Suzanne’s 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.
