About the Book:

We are all challenged at one time or another to make a choice that will alter the rest of our lives. In Sara’s Legacy, a young woman is faced with the decision of following the demands of her parents or yielding herself to the will of God.

The protagonist, Sara Harlin, is only sixteen years old at the beginning of the story, but she will learn more in just three short years than many people could learn in a lifetime. She will learn the true meaning of godly love and sacrifice. She will have to face the dangers of an unsettled and demanding part of the American West. And she will learn how to find happiness in the most auspicious places imaginable. She will learn that there is nowhere she can go where God’s loving hand will not provide for her.

Danger and hardship are ever-present, but Sara faces the challenges and fights unbelievable odds to secure her legacy. Not only will you experience a story of overcoming challenges, but you will also learn of a legacy of redemption and Christian heritage at the turn of a new and modern century. Join in with Sara as she enters this new era of America’s past. And learn from Sara’s lesson how to place your faith more fully in a loving and merciful Lord.

Sara soon finds out what she would do to follow the precepts of Matthew 25:40: “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.”

My Review:

Sara’s Legacy by Larry Trapp
Rating: 5/5
Pages: 245
Published: February 15, 2024
Series: The Harlin Saga

Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher/author. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

Talk about a ‘turn-around’! I honestly wasn’t sure what kind of story this was going to be, and upon reading the opening pages, and even the first few chapters, I was having some doubts. The writing is slightly choppy, there are some typos, and ever a couple words missing. Still, I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to keep reading, to really give time one more time, and upon finishing it I am so thankful I listened!

Amos! He alone probably could have made this one worth the read, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a beautiful tale of strength, set-backs, faith, and resilience. A story that stays with the reader long after the last page, and so worth the read! The characters, the lessons, the timeless voice of a classic tale. There’s so much I loved about this story, and while the presentation was a little rough at times, that doesn’t detract from the importance of the story being told.

(I also just realized who the people on the cover are, and I love it! The realization reminded me all over again about why I loved this story so much, and the cover just adds that extra perfect touch! Absolutely precious!)
