About The Book.
As we continue to wait out the Coronavirus pandemic, people are looking for ways to stay busy, taking on new hobbies, home projects and even starting new businesses that they once thought a pipe dream. With all this time on people’s hands, they are also re-discovering reading again.
Books might just be the perfect remedy for the mental toll that this virus is taking on all of us in our socially-distance worlds. Reading can be the perfect emotional antidote to either escape or to find an island of calm amidst the storm.
Inadvertently, this COVID time-out has reminded many of us of the importance of slowing down, of appreciating family and friends, and of finding happiness by going back to the basics—which we are all having to do—and which are the central themes in the award-winning book, The Legacy Letters.
The Legacy Letters reveals to us the rediscovered private letters from a dying father to his children and his wife. His words of wisdom, interwoven between deeply personal stories and poignantly-told memories, ultimately become the practical, moral, and spiritual guidebook for his children he’d never live to see, and for his wife, his redemptive act of love. The Legacy Letters has won 5 national awards, and made publishing and literary history by winning awards in both Fiction and Non-Fiction categories!


“A Must-Read Book of Wisdom for Life… exquisite, intimate, passionate, humorous and genuine…”

It is the format of this book that makes it ideal for quarantine reading as each letter/story stands on its own and can be read in one sitting.
