One Split Second

De: Caroline Bond

Narrado por: Dushan Philips

By 2.30am the whereabouts of most of the kids was known. Most – but not all. Because, for a small handful of parents, there was no response to their frantic calls and messages.

No wordless reunions and fierce hugs. These parents – the truly unlucky ones – plunged headlong into the awful realisation that their child had been involved in the night’s events …

The final goodbye is the hardest …

When a car carrying five teenagers home from a party crashes into a brick wall, the consequences are devastating – not just for the young people directly involved, but also for their families, their friends and the wider community.

No one escapes unscathed, but some are more deeply scarred than others and one of the group will not survive. In their grief and confusion, those left behind question who was to blame for the accident – and what price they will pay.

A haunting and emotionally affecting story about love and loyalty, grief and forgiveness.

in One Split Second...EVERYTHING can change forever!

I liked the way the events were laid out and how the retrospective explanation was thorough and led you through the emotions experienced by all those affected. The telling of the story leads you to empathize with the people on both sides of the event. I LOVE the ending where it led them back to the symbiotic relationship they all needed to heal and go forward with their lives!
