OFFERING SOON:
Their Inheritance
Christian Historical Fiction
By
Stephanie Townsend Ayers
It is 1889 and the Williams siblings are mourning the loss of their parents.
Seeking security, through routine they adhere to the daily responsibilities of managing the
family farm, but soon seventeen-year-old James and sixteen-year-old
Alexandra are overwhelmed in their efforts to raise their younger siblings.
Through heartache and hardships, this young family must find a way to
survive using the faith, love, and respect their parents taught them.
Book excerpt:
The sun shone across the frosty air. The icy wind of February cut into her almost as sharp as the pain that ran through her veins. Alexandra ached from the cold, yet she could not make herself move from that spot. Her eyes fixed on the rectangular hole and the pine box covered with pine boughs as everyone else walked back to the house. She could faintly hear the murmuring, the sniffling, and Lee’s crying.
A deep overwhelming sob lodged in her throat and stifled her as she thought of six year old Lee and eight year old Christine, her brother and sister. How could she and James, her seventeen year old brother, take care of them. First it was Pa, then not a fortnight later Ma. Oh, Ma! As they lowered Ma into her grave, Alexandra felt a scream… a wail from the very pit of her soul rising to her throat! As hard as she willed herself not to cry, there they were. Tears. Such a rush of tears down her face that they poured upon her breast! ‘Shame, Alexandra!’ she thought, ‘What would Ma think? I must bear up for the children’s sakes.’ Inside she wanted to take off across the field, through the forest, and run until she fell off the end of the earth! But, on the outside, she pulled out Pa’s handkerchief from her coat pocket, wiped her face, blew her nose, and closed her eyes.
“Forgive me, Lord. Make me strong and guide me. I don’t understand, but Ma always said you don’t give us more than we can handle. I hope I don’t disappoint you. Be patient with me. I promise to try harder to be courageous. Amen,” she whispered.
As the men threw the last shovel of dirt upon Ma, Alexandra whispered, “Goodbye, Ma. I love you.” With that, she turned and walked towards the house.
Christian artist Meredith Andrews has allowed us to tie her song,
"You're Not Alone" as
Their Inheritance's theme song.
This song embodies the message of Ayers' book:
