Liane Moriarty’s latest novel is entitled “Here One Moment.” Everyone who gets on the plane will get off, but almost all of them will be forever changed. On this ordinary, short, domestic flight something extraordinary happens – people learn how they are going to die. None will become more famous than the “death lady.” Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable, but months later no one thought what she said was simply an entertaining story any longer. “Here One Moment” is also available digitally.
