A Ripple Through Time

by

Evelyn Bay

When Ryan Harper inherits an old painting and a set of journals from his grandfather Derrick, he and his girlfriend Natalie, an art restorer, expect nothing more than a quiet project. Instead, they are drawn into a love story set against the backdrop of World War II, pulling them into the heart of the 1940s.

As they uncover Derrick's past, Natalie faces a personal crisis. Her twin sister, Dina, suddenly falls ill, putting their close bond in jeopardy. With the weight of her sister’s condition pressing down on her, Natalie’s work on the painting transforms into a quest for meaning and connection when everything around her feels uncertain.

Secrets buried in Derrick’s journals threaten to change everything Ryan thought he understood about his grandfather and his own identity. As the mysteries of Derrick’s life intersect with the fragility of their present, Ryan and Natalie must navigate unexpected challenges while grappling with revelations that will forever alter their lives.
