OverviewThe early pioneers of the land that became the United States of America were a hardy lot, none more so than the women, the unsung heroines in our history. Legacy tells the stories of the women in one family, whose incredible fortitude carried them beyond impossible challenges to productive lives in early California. There is Ann, the Quaker, who travels with her husband and five children across Nicaragua. And Sarah, a lapsed Irish Catholic, at seventeen and alone, who walks across Panama. Both are on their way to San Francisco at the height of the Gold Rush. They survive the horror of the death ships and arrive at their destination just three months apart. Their children will later marry and Sarah's daughter, Emma will continue the family history of courage. This true life historical novel follows the lives of these women over a hundred year period, as one becomes a dynamic leader in the temperance and suffrage movement, another a pioneer in early Santa Barbara, and later yet, another, a real estate developer and oil well owner in the booming Los Angeles basin. Legacy stands as a tribute to this family of courageous women.
