Ripples — Linda Oatman High

Eight teenagers with very different lives find they have something in common after all: their lives were horribly affected 9-11. Like ripples in a pond, the pain and tragedy spread far beyond the events of that terrible day. But some good things happened too -- people reached out, helped someone else, gave to people who needed it more, and shared the most precious gift of all -- simple human kindness in the face of unspeakable human cruelty. Those things spread like ripples in the lives of these unique teens, and in their turn, they keep the ripples going. Their lives will never be the same, but maybe they can make something good come out of it. Maybe they can be touched by the Ripples.
