More DescriptionLegacy of Shadows traces the lives of three women whose stories indelibly blend into one during the span of three generations. Powerful and poetic, the story evolved from the author's exploration into the mysterious impact of family history on her own psychology. Set in motion by the death of a small child in 1904, the story moves from Lincolnshire, England, to Toronto, to New York, to Chicago. Yet the true setting remains the interior landscape. Revealing the private perceptions of a mother, daughter and granddaughter in turn. Moats adopts the format of the journal, rather than the novel, to explore the impact of unresolved emotion passed down within a family. Legacy of Shadows offers readers an intimate perspective from which to consider how we become the people we are.
