Legacy of Love
In the spring of 1939, war is raging throughout much of the world. America is little affected, remaining impassive while lending monetary support to its allies. Raised by a faithful Catholic mother and a strict military father, sixteen-year-old Meredith Gannon is protected from talks of war. Her life is a portrait of family, school, and faith. Awarded a two-year scholarship to St. Mary’s Academy, a prestigious Catholic school in Leavenworth, Kansas, her only focus is to be the first in her family to graduate with honors.
​
Meredith’s heart shifts in a new direction when she meets and falls in love with Private Mitchell (Mitch) Easton, a soldier on tour at Fort Leavenworth. Her ambition to graduate is a million miles away. Against her parents’ wishes, Meredith and Mitch marry. Their love is soon tested when war hits their homeland.
​
Legacy of Love is Meredith’s story, the testament of a humble woman who finds the strength and courage to rise above adversity against all odds with unwavering love.
