Editorial Review:
Jenny Smedley, an ordinary housewife, has a new maxim: "You never know when your life will change in a minute." Hers certainly did. In one second of unconscious recognition she rediscovered a soul mate from a previous incarnation - a soul mate that her subconscious memories told her now dwelled inside the person known as Garth Brooks.
"Ripples" tells of Jenny's hypnotic regression therapy and also gives a vivid account of her memories in the 17th century as Madeleine Fitzgerald and the three years she was married to Ryan Fitzgerald.
This is an inspirational story. It is about magic and faith and a love so strong that it has spanned the centuries. If the readers can suspend disbelief they too can enter this world of magic. The characters of Ryan and Madeleine can live in anyone's heart. The language is graceful, the plot compelling. Situations are described in startling clarity, thus drawing the reader effortlessly into the fabric of the story, to experience it as a personal reality.
Ripples (A story of Garth Brooks) Reviews:
Cynical people 
2004-11-06 - Skeptics I don't mind, but this book attracts a lot of cynical remarks. Why I wonder?
It seems that people think famous men and women have different souls to the rest of us. They don't!
I agree that the memories in this book were exceptionl, but this is explained by the regressionist's obvious lack of experience. The subject was literally thrust back into her past life and virtually re-lived it, that was why the recall was so detailed. I wouldn't want to go through what the author went through. I found it riveting.
As for Garth Brooks - I think the photo of him with the author says it all. Did you see the wonder in his eyes?
Crackpot fantasy 
2004-07-09 - Oh it's an uplifting tale, with love and magic, but the author actually believes it happened. She's insane. Go ahead and read the book, but just know your money will be going to someone who's crazy and uses her psychotic ideas to make a bundle of money. Poor Garth Brooks must be freaked out by such a weirdo.
From the heart
2003-01-26 - This book is not a work of literary genius. It's not concrete proof of reincarnation. It's not a how to do it on regression, not is it scientifically based. But if you want a story that will touch your heart and soul - this is it.
Sour grapes or what?
2002-01-10 - Two very nasty comments by previous reviewers made me do my own review of this book. First of all misquoting Garth - he said 'I'm not sure I understand the book, probably somebody would need to explain it to me.'
A whole different context - please quote correctly if you're going to quote at all.
Second thing - I have it on totally definite authority that ALL proceeds from this book were donated to 'Music For Africa' Hardly the actions of a money grabber!
This book is magical and beautiful and Garth doesn't hate it, unlike 'Road Out of Santa Fe'!
For your info - a review is meant to be about the BOOK - not the author.
Jenny writes from her heart.....
2002-01-10 - I have read Ripples three times and loved it! It is believable because she has written from her heart. Her life was transformed because of her experience and she in no way would ever use Garth Brooks' fame for her own profit. In fact, she has donated all money earned from the first edition to Music for Africa.
