A debut collection of 11 stories
Available for pre-order this May.
In eleven carefully crafted stories,
Lesley Mahoney O’Connell helps readers recognize and feel her character’s strengths, flaws, and compromises.
Most stories are set in New England coastal villages. All are sensitive and thought-provoking, the characters mostly quiet but intelligent people who see themselves as outsiders.
“Intimate, insightful and deeply human… Ripple Effects marks the arrival of a writer with remarkable emotional intelligence and a gift for illuminating resilience at the heart of ordinary lives.”
— Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life: Collected Works
