Norah Barclay finally found love in old age, only to lose it to the inevitability of death. Even as she railed at God, she knew her own choices had led her down the path which led to her sitting by the deathbed of Egan Corey as he drew his last breath.
But she is not alone, even in the stillness of the night. Her grief is shared by One who can see the whole of the fabric of our lives, who decides, ". . . this time, for
these two . . ."
Norah has a chance to set all to rights. Can she avoid the tangled web that trapped her in a spinster’s loneliness and Egan in a forced marriage?
"This book twisted me between sorrow and joy, wrenching everything out of me, and daring me to put into words for a review. All too human, Manning's characters each contend with their own unique dramas, selfish in their own desires. She demonstrates a remarkable strength in rendering emotion for both her characters and her readers. I do not want to neglect her descriptive abilities, but they fade, as any good background should, and merely highlight and direct with subtlety. I can only say that some authors have a gift. You never remember reading their book; you remember things that happened as if you lived them, and you remember people as if you met them. RIPPLES marks Manning as one of these authors, as well as beginning my search for other books by her. More than a good story, RIPPLES is a powerful and moving experience, and I urge you not to pass this one by."

Scribe's World Reviewer's Choice Award"This book was excellent. I've never seen a time travel handled with quite this twist and found it fascinating. Norah and Egan were wonderful characters who had me laughing and crying. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Manning's offerings."
