…a man intent on saving…
…thrown together by a tumble through time.
My Thoughts on Vestige of Legacy:
To start with, this is the second book in a series and I highly recommend that the first book be read first. It’s not imperative. You’ll still like this book without reading the first one, but you’ll just get to enjoy even more books by this author this way. I’m hoping for more books in this series as well.
Time travel is not a topic I normally read a lot of though it seems to be one that keeps popping up lately for me. I did read book one in this series and loved it. So, when I picked up this book I knew that it was going to be good as well.
The author writes characters that you fully become invested in. They draw you in and make you their best friends. I love the time period we jump back to. It’s a nice not too populated but not too full of all the diseases and death. The Civil War is over and life is beginning again in the 1870’s in the mountains.
Definitely pick up this book and find out if we stay in the past or jump back to the future and what this means for the two people involved. I highly recommend this book and the whole series.

More from Sara
A trip to the Alamo brings introspection and a bit of sweat.
Texas heat could melt a woman…
…I know. Because I experienced it this last September when I ventured south for the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference in San Antonio.
I noticed several t-shirts in the gift shops that said, “If you can’t take the heat, leave Texas!” So, I looked at those shirts and told them, “Not until the conference is over, you bully.” They don’t like it very much when you talk back to them.
Also, I visited the Alamo while I was there. I could glimpse it out of the window of our hotel room (Thank you, Jesus, for answered prayers!) Inside the walled grounds was a small museum one of the actors told me to check out. There wasn’t much in the museum. Old rifles. A few uniforms. Some personal items. I found Davie Crockett’s brush, and next to it sat this tin box that Crockett carried with him. It surprised me, because this box isn’t small. Crockett was a man in a foreign land, looking for a better future. What would cause a man to carry such an awkward box by horse across miles on his journey?
The box
That box got me thinking about what things I carry? I had just finished the first draft of Vestige of Legacy. Samara, the heroine, carries her mother’s Appalachian dulcimer with her. She has the memories of her mother in the case, but she’s also packed it full of fears, regrets and lies. Do I have such a thing in the items I’ve lugged around the country as we’ve moved from place to place?
Then I started thinking about what do I want to carry with me?
The answer quickly came back as God. In all the things I can take with me as I travel across the miles or down the street, I pray I’m taking God with me, pray He guides my thoughts, actions, and words. And here’s the crazy thing, I know He takes me with Him, carries me through all my troubles and through the joy.
He says so in Isaiah 46:4 “And I’ll keep on carrying you when you’re old. I’ll be there, bearing you when you’re old and gray. I’ve done it and will keep on doing it, carrying you on my back, saving you.”
Wow… aren’t God’s promises amazing? What are you carrying with you? Are you like Crockett, lugging around this awkward box? You can bet, whether you recognize it or not, that God is faithful to carry you.
