In a Single Moment

By: Imogen Clark

Narrated by: Bronwen Price

From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of two families, two babies and one maddeningly hot day that will change their lives forever.

It’s the hottest day of the 1976 heatwave and there’s not a breath of fresh air in the labour ward at Lincoln County Hospital. Michelle is having her fourth child, a girl, while beloved husband Dean is sipping a cold pint in the pub. Their little house is already bursting at the seams, but Michelle is sure they’ll find a way to stretch their budget and continue life as a blissfully chaotic happy family. They name their new baby Donna.

In the next bed, exhausted and wearing a perfectly impractical lace-trimmed white nightgown, Sylvie has just given birth to her first child at forty and wants to sleep, while her oblivious husband Jeremy hovers and suggests he sketch this ‘perfect moment’. The midwife thinks she’ll feel more like bonding with her baby when she’s had some rest, but Sylvie isn’t so sure. She and Jeremy call their daughter Leonora.

When the two little girls are taken to their respective homes, the date of their birth seems to be the only thing to connect them. But one day, years in the future, their paths will cross again when Michelle comes looking for Sylvie—because something happened that blistering hot day, something they both deserve answers to…

It could have happened

Two moms, very different. One realizing there was something off when she brought her baby daughter home. A really good read!

A fascinating read

I loved the suspense all through the book. Will they find out the truth snd how will the news change their lives?

Excellent Book

I liked the fascinating story of babies who may have been sent home to the wrong parents. I really enjoyed the characters. The narrator was excellent. I am a fan of this author’s books and this was worth my 5 stars

Relatable & enjoyable with real depth to the characters and a story line that engaged till the end.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Each character had their own distinct personality, with depth and reliability, they were so vivid I felt like I was watching them on a screen. The storyline gained momentum and was refreshing in its unpredictability.

I love Imogen Clark

I just picked up one of her books one day because it was on Kindle Unlimited. Since then I’ve read everyone of them. I can never put them down and I always love the endings. So thrilled I found her.

Great story

I could not stop listening. Loved the characters and needed to see what really happened.

Sungle Moment

Enjoyed this book, kept me wondering till the very end.
The ending was also fun.

Simply FANTASTIC!

I found myself enthralled by this well-written, character-driven story from page one . . . I could not put it down.

Two women share a hospital room and deliver baby girls on the same day. Dean and Michelle name their daughter Donna while Jeremy and Sylvie call their daughter Leonora. Soon after leaving the hospital, Michelle begins to notice differences in Donna's looks and behaviors from her other children. Over the years, she grows increasingly convinced that she was sent home with the wrong baby.

There are stark differences between the two families - Donna grows up the youngest of four children in a blue collar home while Leonora is an only child of an upper middle class couple.

Over two decades later, Michelle is still unsure. Take a listen and find out the truth. Worth the credit. Narrator Bronwen Price is superb!

Another Fantastic Book!

I loved this book! The story unfolded beautifully. The characters were likable and the storyline kept you engaged. She never disappoints!

Enjoyable light read

This book was a nice break from darker stories. Characters were nice and likeable, story believable and entertaining. I very much enjoyed the listen. I told my daughter to read this book, so in our future conversations we could make references to Michelle. She was my favorite character. Such a good mother!
