For thirty-five years, as her adoring husband builds a successful business empire, Dahlia Ringo lives the well-appointed life of a proud and pampered wife. She wears designer fashions, enjoys lavish vacations and entertains in comfortable sophistication while raising their three children in one of Chicago's most exclusive neighborhoods. But when her husband dies suddenly, ugly secrets are revealed. Secrets that can destroy the life that Dahlia has so carefully created for herself and her family. A life of elegance and distinction. A life she has no intentions of letting go.A quick and fast-paced read from start to finish, THE RINGO EFFECT is perfect for the beach, an airplane flight, or a quiet evening at home when your brain craves more than binge-watching another series or scrolling through social media sites. Sometimes you just want to read a good story! And we've got one just for you. Growing up in Chicago, surrounded by a family of dapper men and stylish women, Edwina's heart has always belonged to the world of fashion and art. It never occurred to her to do anything else and an extensive career in advertising, illustration and design developed. She kept an on-going journal of her adventures as a retail art director, shooting with models Cindy Crawford, Uma Thurmond, Jennifer Beals and Halle Berry. After moving to Atlanta, GA, she wrote short stories for her own amusement while creating advertising and marketing campaigns for the Alliance Theater Co. with award-winning Artistic Director Kenny Leon and playwrights Elton John & Tim Rice, August Wilson, Janece Shaffer and Debbie Allen. For years she waited for the one big project that would bring it all together-fashion, art, and storytelling-before realizing, finally, that she would have to create the projects herself. And that's what she's been doing ever since. Writing, illustrating and self-publishing her own stories to share.
