This work of academic scholarship, told in first person as an investigative mystery, explores Chateaubriand's secret sponsorship of the author's great-great-grandfather, Thomas Fallon, to a four-year elite education at a prestigious French Royal Academy. Chateaubriand, considered the founder of French romantic literature, likely believed he was the boy's father. The boy's mother, Mary Neale Fallon, an Irish woman who surely rescued Chateaubriand in his hour of need while in exile in London, thereby made possible the launch of his writing career. In the course of uncovering aspects of Chateaubriand's hidden life, as disguised in his memoirs and elsewhere, this genealogical investigation, rendered largely as a memoir, explores aspects of 19th century love and romance; intergenerational family oral history; and the value of inheriting, through one means or another, an enduring legacy of love.--Publisher.

Love's Legacy chronicles a lifetime of inspirational writings, poems, proverbs, and songs on a variety of universally shared human experiences. It inspires respect for the unique heritage we each have; examines the various love relationships we all encounter in our lives; and attempts to show how those relationships influence the person we have become. It encourages us to understand that our lives make a difference in the lives of those we meet and offers suggestions of how we can determine the legacy we choose to leave for future generations to observe.. At times, the author summons up a bit of a nostalgic atmosphere as she issues the challenge to recall past events that have had a profound influence on the reader. There is always the ever present reminder that each life lived affects the lives of those living today and in the future. Everyone alive has a unique history that is influenced not only by genetics, nurturing and environment; but also, by our heritage, our ancestors. This book encourages the reader to explore and respect their unique heritage. This is great conversation starter and an ideal book for family and friends to read together.
