THE RIPPLE EFFECT--Paul Garrison--This book is not in the Shenandoah Library, but others by the same author are; specifically, RED SKY AT MORNING and FIRE AND ICE. Garrison writes of the sea and its power and size, his characters combating those elements as part of their story. For those with interest in the sea and high seas adventures, give Garrison's books a try. This one involves a family running from and going to, each for their own reasons. It's fun, it's fast. It was billed as a 'novel of suspense', but I'd add adventure to that. Uncle, father and daughter all singly finding their way across the Pacific to Blind Man island.
