Product description...

Ripples - is the story of Father Sal Gomez, a priest serving in Southern California who faces a canonical trial summoned by his bishop. Accused of scandal arising from the forbidden relationship with his childhood sweetheart, he grapples with preserving his integrity and preventing his impending fall from grace.

Will the challenges soaked in the pages of this novel impact Sal's world and the people who inhabit it? Will his mythical character overcome dark schemes other characters hatched to steal his future and of those he cares about?

You, the readers are invited to ride rippling waters and watch them turn into ocean waves as you follow this masterfully crafted story spanning from the river town in Central Philippines, to the labor farms in Central California, to the heart of the People Power Revolution in Manila, and head on to the clashing forces in Los Angeles.
