Description

In this intimate family memoir, Lisa Tracy explores the tangible connections between past and present through the inherited treasures her family has preserved across generations. When Tracy and her sisters come into possession of furniture, heirlooms, and artifacts collected by their ancestors—many of whom served in the military—they discover that each piece carries its own compelling story. Through careful examination of these objects, Tracy uncovers the lives, struggles, and triumphs of family members long gone, revealing how material possessions can serve as windows into history and identity. The result is a touching meditation on legacy, family bonds, and the ways we honor those who came before us through the things they left behind.
