How The Family Grows : The Legacy Part III: The Legacy Part III

After the turmoil of the past few years, the Nelson family is finally starting to come back together. Jan has opened her bakery, Jack has established his pottery shop, and the toddler twins-Joe and Mary-are growing fast. Jack is realizing, through Jan, how important he is to the rest of his family. Jack's siblings, Carol and Randy, are both married and expecting babies, which makes their mother, Sharon, very happy. And after his father's death, Jan's young cousin Barry is starting to come out of his shell, making new friends at school, and joining Jack in the pottery shop.

Soon another change will be coming for the Nelsons, an unexpected and welcome change—something that will bring the family closer and brighten their lives beyond anything they could imagine. One evening Jack goes for a walk and has an encounter with their neighbors that will change their lives forever.

In this novel, the third in a series, Jack and Jan Nelson take in an eleven-year-old girl whose father has been in an accident, and the choice alters the course of their lives for good.
