In This Moment by Karma Brown digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“A powerful and evocative story about the life-altering consequences of a single decision… Riveting.” —Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lies that Bind and Something Borrowed

“Karma Brown's work is as smart as it is effortless to read.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Reese's Book Club Pick Daisy Jones & The Six

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Recipe for a Perfect Wife comes an emotional tale of the aftermath of one woman’s earthshattering mistake

Meg Pepper has a fulfilling career and a happy family. But her life shatters in an instant when a chance encounter results in a terrible accident that leaves a teenage boy in critical condition. Full of remorse, Meg throws herself into helping the teenager’s family as he rehabs from his injuries. But the more Meg tries to absolve herself, the more she alienates her own family—and the more she finds herself being drawn to the boy's father.

Soon Meg's picture-perfect life is unravelling before her eyes. As the painful secrets she's been burying bubble dangerously close to the surface, she will have to decide: Can she forgive herself, or will she risk losing everything she holds dear to her heart?

“As I read this book I had to stop and think of all the times I have waved someone on across the road after checking my mirror to make sure the way was clear. I realized then just how fast something like this can happen. Meg, a wife, mother and successful realtor makes a decision to wave a teenage boy across the street. She checked her mirror, she didn’t see the car but what she does see is Jack Beckett hitting the windshield of the car and flying through the air landing on the pavement. So has her daughter Audrey. Each of them now facing the reality of what had happened and each dealing with the trauma in different ways. With the guilt Meg feels memories and nightmares of an accident in her past come flooding back. Her best friend Paige was killed in an accident when they were teens. Now all Meg wants to do is help this family as they deal with Jack and the reality of his accident. But a broken family, guilt, remorse and secrets can only bring on problems and things spiral out of control. I really enjoyed reading In this Moment, a second book I’ve read by Karma Brown. Each of the characters could be a real life story, choices made could have gone differently as well.”
