"The Rippling Effect," the sequel to "Teacups and Lies," follows the Reese family of Spencer's Mill, Ohio in 1887 as they cope with the fallout from the oldest son's duplicity. Two brothers who were the closest, John and Eli, are torn apart by John's betrayal and Eli's bitter refusal to forgive. As John repents and works to turn his life around, his wife and children are threatened with danger and intrigue. His mother warned him of the rippling effects of his actions, but John doesn't understand the full effect of what he has done until Eli shocks the whole family. This is a story of divine intervention in a broken family, as God moves circumstances and hearts to allow reconciliation.
