The Rippling Effect for your Book Club
​
This book is a sequel to Teacups and Lies, although it makes sense when read independently. The story is about two brothers in the 1880s and 1890s and their struggles in the aftermath of betrayal. One reader remarked that although the story takes place almost 140 years ago, the human condition has not changed, and the range of emotions experienced by the characters are the same emotions we experience today. So if your book club likes to discuss the interaction between characters, the humorous events, or the deadly serious events, you will find The Rippling Effect full of points to discuss.
