Rippling Effects announces the release of All That Was, a novel by historical fiction author Tanya E Williams that weaves an intriguing and delightful tale while examining what it means to move forward in life.

Emily Reed refuses to dwell on her emotions. When the first-year attorney is assigned a church archival project, she dives into the records to hide from her own heartache. But when she discovers her parents were married in this very chapel, she is forced to confront the grief she buried a decade ago.

After she died in 1935, Elizabet Thomas was devastated when her beloved husband wasn't waiting for her on the other side. A lost soul, she's wandered their church for the past 80 years, desperate to find him. And now she must persuade a young, living lawyer that the historic building needs to be preserved rather than sold and torn down.

Discovering a diary among the disarray in the building's basement, Emily is first engrossed and then moved by the dead woman's words. And as the fate of her home unravels, Elizabet realizes she and the grieving archivist have more in common than she ever would have guessed.

All That Was [Rippling Effects, ISBN: 978-1-989144-12-1, $15.99] is an uplifting standalone women's literary fiction novel deeply woven with historical elements.
