Title: In An Instant

Author: Suzanne Redfearn

Published: March 2020, Lake Union Publishing

Format: ARC Paperback, 332 pages

Summary: 

A deeply moving story of carrying on even when it seems impossible.

Life
is over in an instant for sixteen-year-old Finn Miller when a
devastating car accident tumbles her and ten others over the side of a
mountain. Suspended between worlds, she watches helplessly as those she
loves struggle to survive.

Impossible choices are made, decisions
that leave the survivors tormented with grief and regret. Unable to let
go, Finn keeps vigil as they struggle to reclaim their shattered lives.
Jack, her father, who seeks vengeance against the one person he can
blame other than himself; her best friend, Mo, who bravely searches for
the truth as the story of their survival is rewritten; her sister Chloe,
who knows Finn lingers and yearns to join her; and her mother, Ann, who
saved them all but is haunted by her decisions. Finn needs to move on,
but how can she with her family still in pieces?

Heartrending yet ultimately redemptive, In an Instant is a story about the power of love, the meaning of family, and carrying on…even when it seems impossible.

pieces while trying to solve the mystery of just what happened that
night. Redfearn deftly pivots from character to character in this
multiple-points-of-view narrative, unraveling the past and weaving
together a new future for the family. In an Instant is sure to please fans of The Lovely Bones and Big Little Lies.” —Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of The Good Liar and Hidden

“Suzanne Redfearn’s In an Instant
is part ghost story, part love letter to a family in crisis after a
devastating accident in the midst of a brutal snowstorm. This cleverly
crafted novel chronicles a heartbreaking journey from grief and despair
to one of acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately hope. Through
Redfearn’s luminous prose, In an Instant succeeds in building an unforgettable portrait of human frailty and strength in the face of unfathomable loss.” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and Before She Was Found

about anything else. A must for book clubs!” —Anita Hughes, author of Rome in Love and Christmas in Vermont

“Suzanne Redfearn’s latest, In an Instant,
is a captivating, heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting novel about a
family’s devastating tragedy and its aftermath. Reminiscent of The Lovely Bones,
the story is told by sixteen-year-old Finn, who struggles to find
closure for herself while watching her loved ones do the same. Redfearn
deftly explores those split-second decisions that can alter our
destinies and the guilt we hold on to, despite our need to let go. In an Instant
reminds us what it is to be human—vulnerable, fallible, and also
resilient and triumphant when we face our challenges with unity and
love.” —Janis Thomas, bestselling author of What Remains True and All That’s Left of Me

“In
the wake of a tragic car accident, the survivors are forced to make
unimaginable choices in desperation to survive, spiraling into a
heart-wrenching journey to live with those same choices afterward,
forever haunting the ones they love and perceptions of self. Told
through the perspective of a teenage girl whose life is cut short—her
desperation to be alive and connected to her family is a reminder of how
fragile the things we take for granted truly are. Suzanne Redfearn’s In an Instant will make you thankful for every breath you take.” —Kristin Fields, author of A Lily in the Light
