Free (nook/Kindle) Legacy Road [Xtian Southern Contemporary Civil War Literary Novel]

[ATDrake]

Legacy Road: A Novel by Graham Garrison is a contemporary Southern literary fiction novel exploring the relationships between a young man and his family and loved ones and secrets which come to light from the Civil War (US, not UK) letters of his ancestors as apparently he explores the historical battlegrounds and comes to some sort of enlightenment or whatever, free courtesy of Christian publisher Kregel.

This is a sequel of some sort to an earlier novel, Hero's Tribute, but can apparently be read standalone and has a favourable Publisher's Weekly review.

Currently free, probably just for one day @ B&N (also in the UK), Amazon UK (slated to drop in the main store after midnight Pacific Time).

Description
Wes Watkins’s journalism career took off when he was asked to eulogize Michael Gavin, a stranger to Wes but a hometown hero to the humble folks of Talking Creek, Georgia. While researching Gavin’s life, Wes was confronted with an estranged relationship of his own that he wasn’t prepared to address, having ignored for years the occasional letters from his imprisoned father. Wes has chosen to focus instead on his growing career and his budding relationship with Emmy.

His life is looking up . . . until his marriage proposal to Emmy goes south. Left to wonder if he can reconcile with Emmy before she is deployed to Afghanistan, Wes can no longer avoid the other reconciliation that troubles him. But when Wes uncovers a painful truth about his parents’ past, patching things up with his father may prove impossible. Wes’s life is close to spiraling out of control. Will Wes learn to forgive? Or will the best year of his life turn into the worst?

Set against the haunting backdrop of several Civil War battlefields, Legacy Road is a grace-full exploration of hidden secrets--and what happens when they are revealed. Through the ups and downs of human relationships, of family ties lost and found, southern fiction fans will ponder the age-old question: How do you forgive others--and release yourself--from a past that threatens to destroy you?

This is a sequel to another book, "Hero's Tribute," but this one is promoted as a stand-alone. However, some reviewers had difficulty getting into it because of this fact.

I went ahead, though, and picked this up, for which I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Unfortunately, the first book is priced at $10.49, which strikes me as a bit ridiculous.
