The Ripple Eclipse: Turning the Tide of Inherited Trauma

The Ripple Eclipse - Front Cover.png

In this true story, four generations of women grapple with the invisible wounds of inherited trauma - from a grandmother and mother who survived the unimaginable horror, to the author's parents' tragic death, which catapulted her and her daughter into a freefall. For more than 30 years, Hyams Romoff has lived in the fast-paced, glittering world of Public Relations. As the founder of OverCat Communications, she stages high-profile events for A-list celebrities.

​

But beneath the glamour lies a far more enduring legacy, one that even the most fabulous wardrobe can't disguise. Her family's trauma flows like ripples across water, spreading until it eclipses the light and casts shadows over the women in her family. This is the "Ripple Eclipse" - the quiet, powerful force of trauma that shapes and sometimes threatens to darken the lives of those who carry it.

Reviews

"This is not a tale of tidy healing, but a fearless excavation of what it means to live, grieve, and keep moving forward. Hyams Romoff writes with the precision of a publicist and the vulnerability of a survivor-each page both polished and painfully true. The result is a memoir that burns with honesty, but glimmers with hope."

-CANREADS Book Review

 

"Startlingly compelling . . . a powerful and emotional work."

-Kirkus Book Review

 

"Brave, pure, and unflinching, The Ripple Eclipse, is a rare love letter to the secrets we all bury within. Where generational pain is not hidden-but honoured, understood, and transformed. Audrey Hyams Romoff offers an invitation to confront the past with compassion and humour by providing a map towards self-discovery and liberation. A necessary read for anyone carrying the weight of what came before."

-Amanda Brugel, actor

 

"A deeply honest and reflective memoir, this book explores the intergenerational transmission of trauma. The author examines the painful legacy of her family's Holocaust survival and the invisible wounds that shaped her upbringing. As she navigates her healing journey, she faces the enduring impact of the past with courage and resilience, ultimately fostering hope for herself and for future generations."

-Simone Levey, Ph.D., C. Psych, Co-Founder of RENNI

 

"An honest look at generational trauma and monumental grief. Eloquently written and full of heart, it details her experiences moving through more loss than one person should ever have to bear. Audrey's words are introspective, but she manages to weave in enough humour to walk us through her most painful memories, making this a deeply personal and beautiful memoir. I think the world needs this book more than it knows. I am a more compassionate person for having read it and will be encouraging everyone I know to do the same."

-Sara Waisglass, actor
