Ripple

by William Powers

William Powers crafts a story that follows interconnected characters as their seemingly minor choices spiral into major life changes. The narrative weaves together multiple perspectives, showing how one person's decision ripples outward to affect strangers, friends, and family members in ways they never anticipated.
