ENTWINED LIVES A SECRET THAT RIPS THEM APART TWINS ON A TURBULENT VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY A sugar plantation, a waterlily pond, and a decades-old deception are the backdrop for When Lily Ponds Ripple.

In Frankfurt, Florence becomes a notable author, while Charlie’s career leads her from the London stage to Hollywood. Despite their geographical separation, the sisters cannot escape one another, far less their shared history. To face the future, they must confront the past together.
