Reviews
"Employing a prose style reminiscent of Hemingway, Janie Hopwood concocts a tale of international dimensions, one that begins with a shattering disaster, a sudden and destructive wave. Victims of a massive tsunami that devastated Thailand are the CEO and owner of a major American business conglomerate and his wife; surviving is their daughter who, as a result of the cataclysmic trauma that she endures, suffers from amnesia. Who will be the heir-apparent of the corporate property? How can this teenage girl be protected until her memory returns? The tension is high, the characters clearly drawn, and the suspense riveting. ""The Wave Effect"" is a book worthy of close attention. - Kenneth Robbins, Author of Buttermilk Bottoms and The City of Churches, and recipient of the Toni Morrison Prize and the Associated Writing Programs Novel Award."
