One young man is about to discover the true cost of independence.
For years, Doug Anderson has been drifting slowly but steadily away from both his family and his faith. His parents have been trying to reach him before he falls too far. His friend Christina hopes what she is seeing online isn't true. But sometimes you have to hit bottom before you're ready to grow up.
Just as things begin to settle down a bit, Doug's life takes a turn that requires every bit of faith and patience for both his family and Christina - whose growing feelings for Doug, a man who writes her off as not worth his time, keep her off balance.
Will Doug's crisis finally clear his vision and help him focus on what he has right in from of him?

He is the bestselling and award-winning author or coauthor of many books, including the Baxter Family Redemption series with Karen Kingsbury. Gary and his wife, Norma, have been married for 50 years and live in Missouri.
My Thoughts:
The Legacy is the fourth and final book in the Restoration Series. The books in the series, including The Legacy could be read as stand alone novels, but I recommend reading the series as a whole in order to gain the full experience with this family.
Gary and Dan have done an excellent job of probing into the depths of family dynamics. In this final book, the authors give a modern day picture of the biblical Prodigal Son parable. I have enjoyed getting to know the Anderson family and the siblings in particular. The authors' gift of storytelling is given to readers through well thought out characters and expertly woven plots with believable scenerios and genuine emotion. These stories have made me feel and have stuck with me long after the last pages have been turned.
*I received a complimentary copy of the book for the purpose of giving my honest review.
Happy Reading Ya'll
