About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

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.

Critic reviews

"The characters are sensitively portrayed, as is their recovery, and the hopeful ending is realistic. Readers of domestic dramas will be enthralled." Booklist

Jesse Vilinsky's Performance

My first review in 3 years and 493 books. Jesse's performance is so outstanding and beautiful that those words does not do it justice! The book itself was amazing but how Jesse read it, really made it come alive. I hope to hear more of Jesse's readings and am looking for more books by Suzanne Redfearn. You won't be disappointed!

Release of the Heart

My 10 yr old granddaughter passed due to an auto accident and I have not bern the same since. I bury her/my story deep inside.
This story brought a level of calm to my soul and I am so glad that I found it.
The reader did a great job as did the author.
Thank you from my very broken and shattered heart

Very Good.

Reminiscent of The Lovely Bones, but not in the pedophile sense. Good story and interesting viewpoint. Thanks for the book and the great reading.

I loved this book!!!

I loved everything about this book. The Storey, the writing and the narration. I’m so sad it’s over! I’ve never read a book twice but might have to!

Bittersweet story

So happy, so sad. So awful, so wonderful. Gripping. I laughed, I wept. I won't soon forget this book even though I think I wish I could. Listen for yourself and be touched with the fragility of life and the strength of love.

At once, thrilling, scary, and inspiring.

We all wonder about the afterlife. This book doesn't give an answer, but it does offer hope. What would you do to save the ones you love? Would you risk your own life, or throw someone under the bus?

Great story

I couldn't put it down. Humbling story! Truly things can change in a instant. What is true that when some tragic happens it changes people and sometimes not for the good!
