Bountiful Legacies: an inspirational women's fiction with a touch of romance
Two new enterprises are underway at the Monastery of St. Carmella, with Vicki at the helm as executive director. The development of Rock Creek Farm will sustain the Sisters’ ministry, while the site where the original owners’ covert bootleg operation was housed during Prohibition needed restoration before tours could be offered.
A diary discovered in a neighbor’s attic becomes the missing link to explain the Sisters’ inheritance of an estate far more significant than they realized. Explore the legacy of the wealthy couple who experienced the ravages of WWI and the 1918 influenza, while learning that it was within their power to help others less fortunate.
Bountiful Legacies is a poignant story of relationships and interconnections. With a touch of romance and history, we see that the past is woven into the present, an intricate tapestry of love and friendship.

Beautiful conclusion
This is the conclusion to the story of the mansion built by Jonah and Hildegard, their friendship with Adele and Dieter, the secret still during prohibition, and the subsequent estate becoming a home to nuns. Vicki started her journey by renting a poustinia on the estate, finding friendships, love, and a new purpose. I have very much enjoyed reading this series from the beginning.

A delightful conclusion to a series that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading. Following well crafted characters through the twists and turns that have drawn me to read late into the night, it has been thought provoking and given me a gentle reminder of the importance of treating people with kindness.
