“Legacy Discovered” by Kerry Reis
In “Legacy Discovered” (ISBN 1470124343) by Kerry Reis, a woman learns that her husband, Ryan, is not the man she thought she married. “I am Charles Barnett, Jr. I am the only child of Charles Everett Barnett, the current head of a family-owned multi-billion dollar development corporation,” Ryan reveals. With this statement, Ali discovers that her husband is not who she knew him to be, and her family will be changed forever.
When they first met at an East Coast college 16 years ago, Ali fell hard for Ryan, a man who supposedly also grew up like her inside the foster system. A few months later on a mysteriously eventful night, Ryan asks her to marry him and strangely requests that they immediately transfer to a Midwestern university to finish their educations. A decade and a half later, their lives seem to embody middle class success. Ryan has a thriving law practice, and Ali shines as an emergency room nurse. The couple has two healthy teenage children.
Yet when Ryan takes on a blockbuster case to file a class action suit against a toxic industrial development, Ali makes a shocking find during the case discovery process. Charles Barnett, the billionaire behind the toxic project, is not just the defendant; he is Ryan’s father.
For Ryan, meeting Ali became the catalyst for a desperate plan to fake his death for his East Coast family. His real name is Charles Barnett Jr. and he is the scion of a wealthy family. To avoid the pressure of the family legacy and provide him with the opportunity to marry someone from a lower social status, he took the name and legal identity of an old college roommate who died young. The secret is shocking to the entire family. Devastated by the secret, Ali learns to push her ego aside and stand by Ryan and her love for this man, whatever his name might have once been. She must figure out how to sew her family back together again, bit by bit, putting the father and son on a road to redemption.
“Legacy Discovered” is a novel about putting together the missing pieces of family lives and the ultimate strength of love. It shows the power class has to haunt our lives and reveals the ways in which people summon up the courage to face and redeem the past.
“Legacy Discovered” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
