One Moment In Time [Perfect Paperback]

Jill Prior (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 14, 2006

Fifteen years ago, the world for Jill and Roger Prior halted in its tracks, with the death of their youngest daughter, Lisa, a talented ballet dancer and teacher. Their devastation, which made them wonder whether there was any point in carrying on, led them on a roller-coaster journey in their search for answers to the meaning of life. Drawn to the Spiritualist church in their quest for proof of the afterlife and the survival of the spirit after death, Jill and Roger met Stephen Holbrook, a gifted medium who was to change their lives forever. With his support, love and compassion, they have managed to move from pain and despair to rebuilding their lives and helping others through the precious knowledge they have found. Peppered with both sadness and humour, this gritty and inspiring autobiography offers those grieving the loss of a loved one a glimmer of hope of light at the end of the dark tunnel that is bereavement, and the assurance that the spirits of those that have passed away live on, can interact with us in this life, and ultimately will be reunited with us in the next.

Editorial Reviews

Review

When I sat down to read this book I felt a little trepidation. Reading the account of a Mother's loss of a daughter was bound to be terribly sad to read. However, whilst Jill has expressed the trauma every parent who loses a child must feel, she has also woven a thread of hope so deeply through the tapestry of pain, that the book uplifts with every page. One Moment In Time is written with great literary skill and breath-taking honesty, and is a must read for anyone coping with a loss, as well as those who enjoy an autobiographical look at a very touching journey towards spirituality. --Jenny Smedley, Author of 'Past Life Angels' and Columnist for 'Chat! it's Fate'

I have read the book and loved it! Jill told the story so personally I felt I was there. I thought she was brilliant, how Jill didn't just accept without questioning everything, but have eventually become very much a spiritualist. --Jane McDonald, Singer & TV Presenter
