A novel about overcoming our own weaknesses when it doesn't feel like there is anything left to live for, Ripples through Time tells the story of Calvin Greenwood. A man in his eighties, Calvin is alone for the first time in over sixty years. His wife, Emily, recently passed away and he isn't taking her death well. He doesn't remember how to be alone, and he doesn't know if he can forgive himself for the mistakes he made.


Edward, a long time family friend, comes to check on him during this time of need. Edward understands just how dangerous things are for Calvin, and he's hoping to talk him out of doing the unthinkable. He just hopes he isn't too late to help.


Help, however, isn't the easiest thing to give, and it can be even more difficult to accept....


Love, loss, and forgiveness weave inextricably into this tale of friendship and hope.



Ripples Through Time looks at the good and the bad moments in life and shows that it takes many moments to build a life, and often it is our mistakes that define us. Sometimes we need to ask for forgiveness before it is too late.
