Sarah Lawson came back from a trip to Poland in 1980 never suspecting that for the rest of her life she would have an increasing connection with the country she had just visited as a tourist. Twenty-five years later in "The Ripple Effect" she looks back on the series of circumstances and encounters that resulted from an incident that seemed minor at the time but proved to be life-changing.
