My Father's Legacies

By Fleming J. Allen

This novel is a fictitious memoir about a father. The narrative is told by his eldest son Zachary. He is a U.S. military veteran who had taken on the task of writing these priceless chronicles for his own reasons. They were composed soon after a major American tragedy befell New York City in 2001, disagreements with his dad emerged, and other things were occurring in his life.

While composing this remarkable story, his father becomes the central figure. So, recounts of his father's lifetime take him through Europe, Asia, and North America. There are compelling, poignant, and even whimsical experiences to be shared too - some within significant historical backdrops. But this very special memoir was put aside and forgotten.

Decades later, these writings were discovered again. It revealed the many formidable challenges and joys of growing up, settling down, work, and relationships. There were also some very frank sentiments and uncompromising conversations regarding society, family, religion, and politics. But within all of these unbridled discussions, there were many loving and remarkable recollections about past places, persons, and events that were unfolded. Some accounts, however, were yet to be written about him.

Therefore, given the heartfelt memories previously written, this son became inspired to finish the memoir that was started years ago. It's because Zachary desired to celebrate his father's life, family, and legacies.
