Written especially for women who have struggled with the death of a child under age thirteen, One Ripple at a Time describes one mother's guidance of her family and herself through grief, with practical advice for embracing new horizons of growth and self-confidence, as well as surprising connections.

A parent should never outlive their own child, yet this is the position Janice Jensen found herself in after the drowning of her nine-year-old son. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Janice dedicated herself to her roles as mother to her surviving daughter and wife to her devastated husband even as she grappled with her grief.

As a non-swimmer, Janice experienced water's unforgiving power through the loss of her son, but as time went on, she also learned to appreciate its redemptive and healing properties. She sculled symbolic and real rivers, taking the necessary side channels to find waves that soaked peace and happiness into her body, mind, and heart. She learned to sail. And she fell in love with ballroom dancing, a passion that eventually led her back to the very place where she lost her son.

A poignant, heartfelt story that takes readers through the everyday ups and downs of life after a tragedy and highlights the need to view each person's grief journey and timeline as unique. One Ripple at a Time comforts readers and, through decades of the author's personal quest, imparts a crucial message: The best of you is just around the bend.
