As the Civil War looms, it threatens to tear apart not only the nation but also families, heritage, and even love, itself. Diane Parmelee, the beautiful daughter of a Union officer, finally has the chance to marry the love of her life, the handsome, Harvard-educated Lije Stuart. But, despite his love for Diane, Lije's allegiances lie with his plantation-owning Cherokee family and, in turn, the Confederacy. Further clouding Lije's heart, the war reignites a feud within the Cherokees, specifically that of Lije's father, The Blade Stuart, against Lije's uncle and cousin. Old hatreds have festered between the two sides ever since the Trail of Tears. Now, the split between the Confederacy and Union gives a perfect excuse for these prideful men to re-bloody their hands. Can Diane's pleas for compromise save Lije from the horrors of war? Can true love reach across divided loyalties and blind honor? Previously published as AMERICAN DESTINY, Janet Dailey's LEGACIES serves as an stunning follow-up to her deeply textured book AMERICAN DREAMS. This sequel proves that passion and pride can be as explosive as cannon fire.

The is the second part of an awesome story about the Cherokee nation. Janet Dailey did a fantastic job in researching the history of what happen to this great nation. She makes you understand what travisties were done to them because of greed and lies. You become part of the struggle, and you feel the pride that they maintained through it all. I hope she is hard at work on part three.
