Choices made ripple through past, present, and future from "summary" of In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

The decisions we make have a way of reverberating through time, echoing into our past, shaping our present, and molding our future. Every choice we make sets off a chain reaction of events that we may not fully comprehend at the time. In the novel, these ripples are depicted as threads weaving through the tapestry of our lives, connecting us to our past selves and influencing our future selves. When Dannie experiences a vision of her life five years in the future, she is forced to confront the consequences of a choice she has yet to make. This glimpse into the future serves as a wake-up call, prompting her to reevaluate her priorities and reconsider the path she is on. As she grapples with the implications of this vision, she begins to see how the choices she makes today will shape the course of her life in ways she never imagined. Through Dannie's journey, we come to understand how the decisions we make are not isolated incidents, but rather interconnected pieces of a larger puzzle. Our past choices inform our present circumstances, while our present choices lay the groundwork for our future. Each decision we make is like a pebble dropped into a pond, sending out ripples that extend far beyond what we can see. As Dannie navigates the complexities of her own life, she learns that every choice comes with its own set of consequences, some of which may not reveal themselves until years later. By examining the ways in which her decisions have shaped her past, present, and future, she gains a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of her life and the power she holds to shape her own destiny.
