The Moment Before

In the 2014 Jr. Library Guild-selected novel THE MOMENT BEFORE, Brady struggles to make sense of the sudden  loss of her outgoing, popular sister, Sabine. Once recognized for her artistic talent, 17-year-old Brady finds herself questioning the value of everything she once held dear. Her best friend betrays her. Her parents’ marriage is crumbling. And the boy everyone blames for the accident seems to be her only ally in the search for answers in the wake of her sister’s death. As an unlikely friendship emerges, Brady learns more about Sabine—and love—than she bargained for. Buy indie or Amazon.

“Suzy Vitello writes like the sweet, smart, sassy person I aspire to be. Her stories are full of mystery and longing and the endless and varied complexities of ten thousand kinds of love. She’s never written a page that didn’t make me ache for another one. Her work is sheer must-gobble-it-up.” – Cheryl Strayed, author of WILD and TINY, BEAUTIFUL THINGS

“The Moment Before is a work realistically and artistically lush in appropriate details and character development. It will appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. The art factor is wonderfully and compassionately woven it into the plot.” – Amazon reviewer (see additional reviews here)
