About this ebook

When Sylvia-Ann moved from Atlanta to her grandpa's farm in rural Lowndes County, Georgia, she thought the abuse was behind her. But after being coerced to tell her story in a mandatory group therapy session, her temper overcame her and she told all the grizzly details. Most of the group members were horrified, while some were sarcastic. But one boy saw her as a future mentor for the younger children he counseled.
All Sylvia-Ann wanted to do was forget and move on. She didn't want the abuse defining her as a person and an athlete. So when Troy Mandelson approached her, wanting her to speak to his small group, she said, "No". But Troy wasn't one to take no for an answer. He hounded her. After walking away repeatedly, she lost her temper and slammed the football player against some lockers. The principal immediately expelled her from school.
Between Sylvia-Ann's boyfriend, Hank Washington, and her grandpa, Cal Felix, she was eventually reinstated. But that wasn't the end of Sylvia-Ann's problems. Hank's daddy hates the entire Felix family. He certainly wasn't going to accept his only son dating one. Leland Washington blackmails Sylvia-Ann by threatening to turn her grandpa in for making illegal wine if she doesn't break up with Hank.
Can Sylvia-Ann outrun her past, or will child abuse and crime be her family's legacy?

LF Gillis

LF Gillis was raised outside the small, North Florida town of Madison. She has worked in multiple factories, worked in the hospitality industry, and even ran her own farm. Now that her children are grown, what was once a hobby has grown into a full-blown obsession. Since her inception, Sylvia-Ann "Syl" Felix has taken up much of Gillis' time. The Legacy has taken so long to write, that one friend even wonders if Gillis is writing it for herself, or does she intend to find an audience. As a chef once told me, "Never expect anyone to eat what you wouldn't eat, yourself. I apply that advice to my writing as well as my cooking. If I struggle to read a chapter, I expect my audience will too. Therefore, the chapter goes on the chopping block. I am in the pursuit of perfection. I may never achieve it, but I will never stop trying.
