Lila's Legacy: A Whimsical Yet Poignant Tribute to a Bygone Time

By Jeannie Jones

Like a feather dancing in the wind, let this book carry you away to a bygone time of childhood innocence and southern genteelness in a small North Carolina town. Beautifully written, "Lila's Legacy" pulls the reader fully into the storyline while tugging tenderly at the heartstrings.

In 2006, Jeannie was asked, "Who in your life has had the most profoundly positive impact on your being?" Without hesitation, her grandmother, Lila Roper Duke, came to mind. After reading this book, you'll come to understand why. Though her grandmother died in 1981 when Jeannie was sixteen, she's lived in her heart ever since. Lila's love helped shape Jeannie into being; Lila's Legacy captures the essence of their love and relationship in a whimsical yet poignant way.

At the time Jeannie was asked that question, her parents, and husband were still living so it was her grandmother's memory that lingered most profoundly in her heart and mind. In the time since, however, she lost her parents and her husband. This inspired her writing which is through the lens of both joy and grief. She strives to live fully and rejoice in the present and finds meaning and peace honoring legacy of loved ones using words as her paintbrush.
