About the Book: (from Kregal Publishing)
The highly-anticipated sequel to Hero's Tribute
Wes Watkins’s journalism career took off when he was asked to eulogize
Michael Gavin, a stranger to Wes but a hometown hero to the humble folks
of Talking Creek, Georgia. While researching Gavin’s life, Wes was
confronted with an estranged relationship of his own that he wasn’t
prepared to address, having ignored for years the occasional letters
from his imprisoned father. Wes has chosen to focus instead on his
growing career and his budding relationship with Emmy. His life is
looking up . . . until his marriage proposal to Emmy goes south.
Left to wonder if he can reconcile with Emmy before she is deployed to Afghanistan, Wes can no longer avoid the other reconciliation that troubles him. But when Wes uncovers a painful truth about his parents’ past, patching things up with his father may prove impossible. Wes’s life is close to spiraling out of control. Will Wes learn to forgive? Or will the best year of his life turn into the worst?
Set against the haunting backdrop of several Civil War battlefields, Legacy Road is a grace-full exploration of hidden secrets--and what happens when they are revealed. Through the ups and downs of human relationships, of family ties lost and found, southern fiction fans will ponder the age-old question: How do you forgive others--and release yourself--from a past that threatens to destroy you?

My Thoughts:
“Unfortunately, because of the human element, the best plans
don’t’ always work out.” (p.58)
But Halleluiah, God is in the business of redeeming our
failed plans and wrong choices! Legacy
Road is a testament to second (and third) chances that God, in His mercy,
allows in our lives. Wes Watkins finds
himself at a very unexpected crossroads in life. Things are all going along so very well, and
then, it seems, as if everything falls to pieces all at once.
As Wes tries to gather the pieces of his life, his path
intersects with several other life stories – all of which ultimately impact him
profoundly. Emmy, Wes’ girlfriend is
deployed with her guard unit, his mom has health issues, his estranged dad
winds up in legal trouble….and on an on it goes. At the point where everything seems
overwhelming, answers begin to come.
Answers that surprise and touch your heart, and challenge you to press
on even when the battle is fiercely raging all around you.
For just as one choice can change the tide of war, so one choice can change the direction of your life.
Praise God, He is all about redemption! Doesn’t mean we escape the pain,
but it does offer hope as we press forward.
What an AMAZING story!! Don’t miss this!!!
