Synopsis

Growing up, Emily Evans of Run, River Currents had always shared a special understanding with her grandfather, John Polk, even when she couldn't fully see beyond the darkness of her father's abuse. Yet John looked to the future in faith to what his God could do. Years after her grandfather's death, the unexpected delivery of the decorated tin, still brimming with odd-colored buttons, unlocks the joyous memories and lets Emily realize she has finally discovered the secret her grandfather promised lay within the stories of the worn button box. Told through the eyes of a devout grandfather, The Button Legacy: Emily's Inheritance laces together a godly heritage and the power of one man's prayers, offering a lesson of how God's grace can be seen even in the simplest thing-a button. This novel shares even more stories from The Button Legacy, a novella of Emily's favorite stories.

About this title

From the Author

This book was again taken from experiences I had in my own life. My grandparent's had an old tin button box where we would be allowed to pull a colored button from. They would relay stories, both comical and touching, stories filled with faith and love. Some of the stories contained here are threaded with those tales and stories relayed to me by others. In all, there is a tenderness I felt when writing this novel and a kinship with my grandfather I will never forget. This is my tribute to a faithful man.
