The Legacy

About the Book

In his old home in Oklahoma, Mark Williams mourns for the members of his family who were lost on the infamous Trail of Tears. He mourns for his brother and his two young daughters, and he longs to know what happened to his parents and his little sister, Walela, as he prays for answers in the ghostly moonlight.

In Missouri, under the same pale moonlight, Lela Schmidt prays in memory of the parents, also lost on the Trail of Tears. She remembers her brothers, her heart wrenched by the mystery of their fate. Did they reach the Indian Territory safely all those years ago, or were they too gripped by the cold hand of death on the long journey west? She’d barely escaped that gruesome fate herself, rescued by Fredrik Schmidt. They have since shared a secret that must never be told.

The story of Fredrik and Lela began in Hummingbird and continued through Until Next We Meet. Rejoin their journey of love, faith, and courage in The Legacy.
