I am certain I might have understood even more if I had the background from the first two book, but I did not have any problem understanding what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>The story is split between two characters who lived approximately 150 years apart &#8211; one who lived in Richmond during the civil war and the other at the present time. At first Therese and Nicole were seemingly unrelated but as the narrative progressed it all began to come together. Nicole and Therese were both strong characters and I would have enjoyed each of their stories as stand-alones but the way their stories were interwoven and how the connection was revealed was pure genius.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed the historical portion of the book, especially the hospital scenes and the hints of a network of spies working together there. It was particularly gratifying when all the secrets were revealed near the end of the book. It was also fun trying to decide which of the Talbot men Therese would end up with. The modern day story featuring Nicole was no less interesting. I found her determination to overcome encouraging and her courage to reveal long held secrets amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, &#8220;My Daughter&#8217;s Legacy&#8221; was a satisfying tale of faith and redemption. I loved seeing the far-reaching effects our ancestors sometimes have on our current lives. I need to pick up the previous books in this series to learn the rest of the story!<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Litfuse Publicity.
