Sarah's Legacy

by Daisy L. Townsend

Exuberant, 18-year-old Polly Dye, torn between pleasing her mother and pleasing her beau, moves with her family into a house that evokes a chilling sensation as she steps over the threshold. She can't decide whether something bad has happened here or if something bad is going to happen. Soon Polly discovers the diary of the original owner, Sarah Davis. She hopes it will answer her questions about the dark foreboding she senses in the house. Instead, she wrestles with the many losses Sarah experienced while still maintaining her faith in God. What good is a God who doesn't protect one from pain, Polly's utmost goal in life? As Polly experiences losses of her own and learns through the mistakes Sarah made, Polly realizes it's not enough to have faith in her mother's faith. Will Sarah's legacy help Polly develop a faith of her own and will her questions about the house be answered?

I really enjoyed reading this Christian inspired historical fiction book. Through it Daisy told a wonderful story in which she perfectly blended fact with fiction. Most of the characters themselves were real life people back long ago, and the setting in Sandy Lake and surrounding areas was also true to life. Aside from it being a really good story in and of itself, I especially liked it because I’m familiar with the towns and the main houses used in the story. My grandparents are originally from the Sandy Lake area, and in-fact were friends of the real Dye family and patients of the real Dr. Cooley. A current family friend even owns and lives in Kitt Potter’s grandiose house. So, yeah, all of this made the book come more alive for me. However, even if I didn’t have a personal connection I would still have nothing but good things to say about this Sarah’s Legacy. Highly recommended!

A inspirational story about a young women who struggles with her faith. The story is not only about Polly and her family, but also about Sarah‘s legacy. There’s so much love, faith, heartbreak, and inspiration in this story. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens with Polly and her family.
