Legacies

The Forgotten Gift by Kathleen McGurl is a marvellous dual timeline that had me gripped from the start.

The novel is set in present day and in the form of a diary from 1861 as we follow two main characters.

A desire to explore one’s family history and to seek out the two names in an old will leads to uncovering age old secrets as we explore what really does constitute a family. Family is not always bloodline. Family is made up of people who love us. We see different types of family within the novel.
