Description
Lena's Legacy: Mysteries of the Blue Box is a story of a young woman coming of age in the early 1900s who carefully guarded her life secrets in a locked blue box hidden away from all family members for over 50 years. At the end of Lena's life in 1986, her granddaughter finds the blue box. Curiosity gets the best of Jenny Lynn as the rusty lock breaks open in her hands, and she opens the box to find that her grandmother had lived an intriguing life before she became a grandmother. Jenny Lynn begins a journey of discovery as she peels back the tough, yet endearing family layers of life and intertwines 100 years of historical fiction set in the beautiful West Virginia hills. The narrative of trauma and heartbreak, combined with a historical perspective of the impact on everyday lives, creates a story you won't be able to put down. The emphasis on mental health of the characters is applicable to today's issues, since we never know all the stories and secrets of those who came before us, and are somehow part of who we are. Throw in two worldwide pandemics in the same decades, one hundred years apart, as the story is brought forward and reflects on the patterns repeating in the lifelines of four generations of women. Jenny Lynn, who now has a granddaughter the same age as Lena was in the same decade a hundred years ago, reveals the story of Lena and the influence of the women who preceded her, as well as those who followed her in history. Lena is given a voice by Jenny Lynn, who breaks the fifty-plus years of silence and shows Lena emerging as a strong female coming of age toward the end of the Victorian influence.
