\nIf you knew your future\, would you try to fight f ate? If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live\, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny? Joi n us as we chat with mega-bestselling author Liane Moriarty about her newe st novel \;Here One Moment. Moriarty&rsquo\;s \;Here One Moment&nb sp\;is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\ , grief and love\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and cont rol in an uncertain world. \; \;
\nIn \;Here One Moment\ , aside from a delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will be smoot h\, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary\, sho rt\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary happens. People learn how a nd when they are going to die. For some\, their death is far in the future &mdash\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laugh. But for six passengers\, their pre dicted deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow do they know this? Ther e were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight but none would bec ome as famous as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.&rdquo\; Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn&rsqu o\;t exceptionally old or young\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. \;
\nA few mo nths later\, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more pa ssengers die\, again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking thi s is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nA modern-da y Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can&rsquo\;t-wa it-to-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to register now!
