Jeden okamih poznačil jedenásť život. A pravdu vidí len ona... Dojímavý príbeh o tom, aké ťažké je prekonať traumatizujúce obdobie života a ísť ďalej. Rodina Millerovcov s priateľmi sa teší na zimný víkend v horách, na lyžovačku a príjemnú atmosféru na chate. V jedinom kratučkom okamihu sa však všetko zmení. Pred karavan, v ktorom sa všetci vezú, nečakane skočí jeleň, otec rodiny sa mu chce vyhnúť, ale zareaguje o zlomok sekundy neskôr a auto sa zrúti do rokliny. Tu sa skončí život šestnásťročnej Finn. Mladé dievča však uviazne na rozhraní dvoch svetov a bezmocne sa prizerá, ako všetci, ktorých miluje, bojujú o prežitie... Všade navôkol zúri metelica, takže vybrať sa v takom nečase po pomoc je beznádejné. Padajú rôzne návrhy a rozhodnutia, tí, čo prežili, spracúvajú šok, bolesť zo zranení a hlavne sa boja, že do rána zamrznú. Finn ich neopúšťa, a hoci s nimi nemôže komunikovať, bdie nad nimi aj nad ich životmi. Po urputnom boji o záchranu sú všetci otrasení a každý si v duši nesie výčitky a pocit viny za to, čo sa tej osudnej noci odohralo. Členov rodiny sužujú pochybnosti, ich súdržnosť sa rozpadáva. Finn by ich už mala opustiť, ale ako by to mohla urobiť, keď vidí, akí sú nešťastní, ako sa trápia a nedokážu sa vyrovnať s tým, čo sa stalo? Dojímavý, ale v konečnom dôsledku oslobodzujúci príbeh hovorí o láske, rodinných putách a odhodlaní ísť ďalej, aj keď sa to zdá na prvý pohľad nemožné. Niektoré rozhodnutia v zlomku sekundy tragicky ovplyvnia náš osud. --------------------- "Pozoruhodne vykreslené postavy, citlivé zobrazenie ich duševného zotavovania po nehode a záver, ktorý ponúka nádej.

MARY KUBICOVÁ, autorka bestsellerov New York Times --------------------- "Román, ktorý tak trochu naháňa strach, je posolstvom lásky rodine, ktorá sa ocitla v kríze po strašnej nehode v snehovej búrke. Táto vynikajúco napísaná kniha je kronikou dojímavej cesty od žiaľu a zúfalstva po prijatie, odpustenie a napokon aj nádej. Je to nezabudnuteľný portrét ľudskej krehkosti a zároveň sily zoči-voči neopísateľnej strate." HEATHER GUDENKAUFOVÁ, autorka bestsellerov The Weight of Silence a Before She Was Found --------------------- "Kniha V okamihu sa začína ako akčný príbeh o prežití, no potom sa ponára hlbšie do emocionálnej roviny a núti čitateľa zamyslieť sa nad tým, aké ťažké je robiť správne rozhodnutia v dramaticky vypätých situáciách, keď ide o život." JULIANNE MACLEANOVÁ, autorka bestsellerov USA Today --------------------- "Úžasná kniha!
