 Inherited Journey: A Powerful Legacy of Courage, Love and Selfless Giving
"Inherited Journey," the sequel to "Fortunes Crossing" and "Bath Pond" continues the compelling saga of the Gregsons, a Floridian family. In "Bath Pond," Garrett Gregson marries with only 15 dollars to his name. The novel tells the story of how he overcomes his poverty and helps others--something that gives a purpose to his life. His eldest son Billy is brain-injured in a riding accident, leading Garrett to develop a charitable foundation that helps victims of brain-injury. The foundation later goes on to address other conditions. At the start of "Inherited Journey" Jay Gregson, Garrett’s other son, inherits control of the foundation. Born wealthy, he might have become a playboy, but an injury in the Korean War turned him around. Jay Gregson meets Gus Squires, who heads a foundation for recovering drug addicts. This fateful encounter leads to many things, among them a friendship, and the growth and greater outreach of the two charitable foundations. Lowell Teal can tell a powerful story. The characterization is rich and more minor characters, Len, Casey and Jay and Gus’s sons play a part. When tragedy strikes, as it did in the first book of the series, there seems to be no way to overcome it. The grief in the story is as overwhelming as the happiness. Still, the basic message that the best life is a life devoted to helping others comes through. This is the life that has rewards. This message ties this book in with "Bath Pond," the original book of the series. The story traces three generations and brings the reader from the Depression to contemporary times. As always, the fine accurate detail about charities and innovative ways they meet peoples’ needs add to making this an interesting read, as did the historical detail in "Bath Pond." It is a rich, meaningful series well worth reading to its conclusion.
