Village Books and Paper Dreams

Don't miss out on New York Times bestselling author Liane Moriarty's thrilling appearance this fall as she shares her newest novel!

Bellingham High School

Bellingham High School - doors open at 6:30pm. Admission:$40 ticket includes one seat and one copy of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty.$55 ticket includes two seats and one copy of Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. In the opening pages of HERE ONE MOMENT, Moriarty introduces us to an ensemble cast of travelers boarding an ordinary domestic flight. There is the joyous newlywed couple still dressed in their wedding finery; the over-whelmed mother traveling with toddler and infant in tow; the empty nesters on their way home from their long planned cross-country trip; the frantic father desperate to get back in time for his daughter’s school play; and an unremarkable older woman who will soon alter the lives of every passenger on that fateful flight. It was this woman who, just minutes before landing, suddenly rises from her seat and—with startling efficiency—shares with each passenger the age and cause of their death. For some, these predictions are a fun bit of macabre, for others even a strange comfort (death at age 103 quietly at home in bed!), but for six passengers, the prophecies are deeply unsettling as “the Death Lady” (as she will come to be known) predicts their end is in the very near future. Most are able to convince themselves this encounter was nothing more than the ravings of an unwell woman—that is until her predictions start coming to pass. Liane Moriarty is the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, The Husband’s Secret, and Truly Madly Guilty; the New York Times bestsellers Nine Perfect Strangers, What Alice Forgot, and The Last Anniversary; The Hypnotist’s Love Story; and Three Wishes. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two children.Rena Priest is an enrolled member of the Lhaq’temish (Lummi) Nation.
