The Ripple Effect — Elisabeth Rose

For lovers of Debbie Macomber, a powerfully emotional romance about one tragic event, and the family, community, and love that must face the consequences.

Twenty-seven years ago, in the heat and chaos of raging bushfires, local police find a toddler and a newborn baby beside the body of a runaway teenage girl, and the course of two people's lives is altered forever...

When Shay Brookes and Joelle Paice meet again, they experience an instant, but immediately suppressed attraction. Together, seeking their birth parents, they traverse the emotional minefield of ruptured families -- both old and new -- discovering lies, mistakes, truths, guilt, and ultimately love, all rippling out from one tragic moment in the past.
