Sound Effect: A Different Kind of Legacy

by Rachel Lester

Darcy Wood la Van. Rich heir to the Wood la Van estate located in Ragged Mountain Village, Montana. Handsome. Musical Genius. Thinks he's just a normal teenager, but doesn't feel anything like one. Five years ago his beloved grandfather mysteriously died. Funeral. No body. No explanation. Two years ago his adorable little brother died from cancer. Funeral. Body. No explanation. All he has left is a mother and father--who seem so immersed in their own world, they hardly know he exists. He sinks into a depression that affects his grades, personality and even his relationship with his best friend, Ellie. Lost, hurting, broken...alone.That's how he feels. That's his new normal. And to top it all off...somebody is out to kill him. But why? What could he have done to make somebody want him dead? It all comes down the the legacy left him by his parents. As he discovers who he is, he discovers other things that will blow his mind and change his life forever. A near paralyzing fear of water? Weird teachers? A superpower? A love that will conquer all? In all the turmoil, Darcy begins to realize that there's only one constant. One truth. One light. And he chooses to lean on that even though everything around him is being torn apart, ravaged, stuffed back in, sewn together, and entirely flipped over.

About the author

Hujambo! (that's Swahili for Hello/How are you?)

As a child of the One True King, it's my privilege, duty, and passion to share Him through the written word. Whether that's through poetry, blogging, or novel writing.

I currently have one book up on Amazon for the Kindle. The second is in the editing process, and another (separate) book is being written.

I'd seriously love to get to know you! Leave a comment, check out my blog!
