\n\nIf you knew y our future\, would you try to fight fate? If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live\, would you do things differently? Wou ld you try to dodge your destiny? Join us as we chat with mega-bestselling author Liane Moriarty about her newest novel \;Here One Moment. Moria rty&rsquo\;s \;Here One Moment \;is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, grief and love\, and the endless st ruggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. \;&nbs p\;
\nIn \;Here One Moment\, aside from a delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth\, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever ch anged. Because on this ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extr aordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For so me\, their death is far in the future&mdash\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laug h. But for six passengers\, their predicted deaths are not far away at all .
\nHow do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting pe ople on the flight but none would become as famous as &ldquo\;The Death La dy.&rdquo\; Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall notici ng her board the plane. She wasn&rsquo\;t exceptionally old or young\, rud e or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearanc e and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was trul y remarkable. \;
\nA few months later\, one passenger dies exact ly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die\, again\, as she said th ey would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nA modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound ques tions in her newest I-can&rsquo\;t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to register now!
