The Legacy by Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley

Doug Anderson has been drifting slowly but steadily away from both his family and his faith. His parents, along with Christina, a young woman taken into the family during a crisis pregnancy, have been trying to reach him before he falls too far. But sometimes you have to hit bottom before you're ready to grow up and give your life over to God. Christina's feelings for Doug have been growing, even though he writes her off as not worth his time. Will Doug's own crisis finally clear his vision and help him focus on what he has right in front of him?
Readers who have been on this emotional and romantic journey with the Anderson family will fall in love with this satisfying conclusion to the popular series.









About this author
:
Dan Walsh's debut novel, The Unfinished Gift, won 2 Carol Awards and has been published in several editions and different languages. It continues to be an Amazon bestseller during the Christmas season 5 years later and has sold over 50,000 copies.

With the sequel, The Homecoming, book reviewers began to liken Dan's writing to Nicholas Sparks. Dan's 3rd novel, The Deepest Waters, earned his 3rd Carol Award for Best Short Historical. His 4th novel, Remembering Christmas became his first national bestseller and was a finalist for Inspirational Book of the Year.

Since then, Dan has written 10 more novels, including a 4-book fiction series with Gary Smalley. The Discovery and The Reunion, both stand-alones, were also named finalists for RT's Inspirational Book of the Year and both have over 250 5-Star reviews on Amazon. The Reunion has also been optioned for a movie by Team Two Entertainment.

Dan released his first indie-published suspense novel, When Night Comes, Nov 1st.

He lives in the Daytona Beach area with his wife, Cindi, where he's busy researching and writing his next novel. They've been married for 38 years and have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren.

 

Gary Smalley is one of the country's best-known authors and speakers on relationships. He is the author and co-author of over 60 best-selling, award-winning books along with several popular films and videos, which have sold over 12 million copies.

In over 40 years Gary has spoken to more than two million people in live conferences and he has appeared on national televisions programs such as, Shawn Hannity radio show, Fox and Friends morning TV show, Kathy Lee’s TV show, ‘Oprah Winfrey’, ‘Larry King Live’, ‘NBC Today Show’, ‘James Robison Show’ as well as numerous national radio programs such as ‘Focus on the Family’, ‘Oliver North’, and many more.

Gary’s books and video, along with numerous small group curriculum, are continually providing the most practical principles on strengthening relationships. After all…with our country having the worst divorce rate in the world there is a great need for solutions to keep marriages vibrant and growing.

Gary and Norma Smalley still produce and create resources, relationship coaching, research and conferences on relationships with a focus on marriage. The center’s web site provides access to hundreds of practical articles, assessments and a weekly newsletter to encourage people in their pursuit of help and enrichment.

Gary and his wife, Norma, have been married for 49 years and live in Branson, Missouri. Their three married children, Kari, Greg, and Michael have produced 10 grandchildren. And all three of Gary and Norma’s grown children are in the work of helping couples and families through their own publishing and counseling careers.


My Thoughts:

I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series. The Legacy was an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. I am sad to see this series end, I would love at least one more. Even though this is the conclusion to the series, each of these books could stand alone. I would recommend starting from the beginning, you'll have a better understanding of the family.
Highly recommended!
