Ripple

An Intimate Exchange of Urgency and Hope Between An Ecologist Dad and His Daughter

Backstory

Ripple is a balm for all of us who feel shaken to our core by recent events, and it is finding outstanding pre-reader praise!

Following in the wake of my previous books—acclaimed by All Things Considered as “searing” and by Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, as “transcendent”—over a hundred Ripple pre-readers from my fan list, who have read several re-drafts, report back that the new book is alive, engrossing, and original.

Ripple took me back to when I was young and stumbled across Sophie's World; I felt like I'd been granted personalized access into a whole new universe of ways of seeing.
— Beta-reader

This is one of those books that I'd pass to folks as a way to knock them out of their ordinary awareness, in the way that The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, On the Road, or Siddhartha did for me.
— Pre-reader

In their enthusiasm, pre-readers have already been recommending the book to friends.
