One Moment by Becky Hunter




Scarlett & Evie aren't just best friends. They are roommates and each others rock. Their friendship started in childhood and has spanned many decades. Evie's tragic MS diagnosis has left her angry but the untimely death of Scarlett leaves her devastated.

A good deed results in Scarlett's early demise. Scarlett and Evie had an argument the morning of the fatal accident which results in Evie feeling all that more sad. What Evie doesn't know is that Scarlett's body is dead but not her spirit. 

Scarlett is able to "see" the aftermath of her death and how it is affecting others and to cheer on as Evie finds her place in a world without her. The story is told in dual narratives and has flashback scenes. One Moment in an incredibly emotional and unique reading experience.
