Moment in Time

A Novel

By: Suzanne Redfearn

Narrated by: Jesse Vilinsky

From the bestselling author of In an Instant comes a heartrending story about the power of friendship during the most challenging moments in life.

It’s been eight years since a tragic accident changed Mo Kaminski’s and Chloe Miller’s lives forever. Now in their midtwenties, they’re sharing an apartment in San Francisco and navigating the normal challenges of early adulthood. Along with their roommate, Hazel, they are making their marks on the world - Mo revolutionizing the news with her media start-up, Hazel using her big brain to anticipate the future, and Chloe rescuing abandoned strays in the city.

But when Hazel disappears after being sexually assaulted, Mo’s and Chloe’s lives are again suddenly ripped apart. And when the perpetrator turns up drugged and beaten, the mystery of where Hazel is deepens. Intensely worried and desperate to discover the truth, they set out to find Hazel and bring her home.

Mo and Chloe are no strangers to tragedy, but this journey will test them in ways they never imagined. The stakes are high; the future uncertain; the need for justice essential.

Will their commitment to their friend bring them closer together - or ultimately drive them apart?

Critic reviews

"Readers who enjoy fast-paced novels about perseverance, survival, and friendship will be drawn into Redfearn’s latest.”—Booklist

“In her latest novel, Redfearn tackles a timely, thought-provoking topic with sensitivity and grit. Moment in Time reunites Chloe and Mo (In an Instant) with other familiar cameos on a journey through enduring friendship and life’s greatest challenges. Redfearn fans will devour this one in a single sitting.”—Rochelle B. Weinstein, author of This Is Not How It Ends

“Shining a light on a topic that certainly needs more attention, Suzanne Redfearn’s Moment in Time is a wonderfully told tale that burns brightly with damaged characters climbing out of their own wreckage. Redfearn is such a talent, with very clever ideas, a sly hand at trickery, and an unmistakable voice; her new book is no exception.”—Boo Walker, bestselling author of The Singing Trees

Great Narration! Good Story!

I enjoyed this book. Characters were good. Narration awesome! Mystery a little confusing but good.

Just AMAZING!!

I loved this read, could not put it down!
Was so excited to see she returned to some of her previous characters and it was such a good story 💕
The ending felt like it was missing something for me, but I’m hopeful that this is leaving room for a next book. Fingers crossed 🤞

One performer…the quality of two people performing

Suzanne Redfearn writes a compelling story about three different ways one situation changed their lives. Suzanne Redfearn accomplishes this by bringing back characters from her other books. Eight years ago, Chloe’s family was involved in an accident during a snowstorm. At the time Chloe made a choice to leave with her boyfriend in the snow that cost her finger and toes. Mo was with Chloe when the RV crashed. Mo made the choice to stay and help family. Kyle at the time was a stranger they picked along the way. He chose to find help by walking in the snow with Chloe’s mom. Each of there choices altered the course of their lives.
…
Eight years later, Chloe is still chasing love and making bad decisions. Chloe takes on a stray dog that teaches her what it’s like to trust.
…
This is a story about grief and trauma. Mo gets herself caught up in an unfortunate situation when her roommate is roofied and raped by a guy she knew in school. From that moment going forward everything spirals out of their control.
…
Mo is using her voice to seek justice for her friend Hazel. Chloe is seeking love that will withstand tragedy and battles. Together with the help of some amazing people along the way Mo, Hazel, and Chloe learn a valuable lesson in seeking justice.
…
Suzanne Redfearn writes from the heart. Her stories move me and bring awareness to sensitive topics. Her writing is beautiful. The way she strings words together is amazing. It’s easy to fall in love with her characters. Her stories hook me from beginning to end.
…
Jesse Vilinsky was the solo female artist performing this audiobook. At times I was convinced someone else was performing along her. Her acting skills were so good. The way she blended the sounds of the male and female voices was astonishing.

Completely engrossing!

I loved revisiting characters from In An Instant! This is the perfect follow-up to that story and Redfearn is a masterful storyteller. There were so many unexpected twists and turns to keep you guessing. Definitely read this book!!

My new favorite author

One action can make the world turn different for slot of people. love this story

Awesome!!

Loved every minute. Did not want it to end! A definite read for everyone.

Overthinking gone awry

The constant overthinking of the emotions of each character drive me crazy, very repetitive and banal.

Not on par with In An Instant

It was just okay, not as good as In An Instant. It seems implausible that they would experience and survive such an unlikely tragedy just to be thrown into this separate but equally dramatic situation years later. I don’t know what I was expecting from a sequel but it wasn’t this, and honestly I might have liked it more if it wasn’t tied to the first one.

Excellent

It was nice to read about some of the characters from In an Instant and learn how they are carrying on.

a must read
