The Road to Tender Hearts — Annie Hartnett
NATIONAL BESTSELLER · An NPR and Lit Hub Best Book of the Year
In The Road to Tender Hearts, Annie Hartnett blends dark comedy, grief, and unexpected tenderness into a wildly charming road-trip novel about second chances and the families we stumble into along the way. After surviving three heart attacks and years of heartbreak, sixty-three-year-old PJ Halliday decides to drive across the country to reconnect with his high school sweetheart — only to unexpectedly become the guardian of two orphaned children along the way. Joined by his struggling adult daughter and a death-predicting therapy cat named Pancakes, PJ sets off on a messy, heartfelt journey that’s equal parts absurd, funny, and moving. Big-hearted and deeply human, this is the kind of novel that sneaks up on you emotionally in the very best way.
