The Button Legacy: Emily's Inheritance

By Ginger R. Marcinkowski

Description:

The unexpected wedding gift of an old tin box and the button stories contained inside hold the secret of one family’s journey of faith.
These short stories are based on the true story of one family’s spiritual journey told through buttons that have been secreted away in an antique box, and that ultimately hold the key to each generation’s salvation.

From the back cover of The Button Legacy-Emily’s Inheritance:
"My Dearest Emily...
When you were a little girl, a change occurred in you. You lost a piece of yourself somewhere....But when you were here in Plaster Rock, you bloomed. The stories we told with these buttons made you smile. With your smile came hope.
Repeat the stories you've been told to your own children, never forgetting that God was there in every situation, in every story held inside this button box..."
Growing up, Emily Evans of Run, River Currents had always shared a special understanding with her grandfather, John Polk, even when she couldn't fully see beyond the darkness of her father's abuse. Yet John looked to the future in faith to what his God could do.
Years after her grandfather's death, the unexpected delivery of the decorated tin, still brimming with odd-colored buttons, unlocks the joyous memories and lets Emily realize she has finally discovered the secret her grandfather promised lay within the stories of the worn button box.

Book Takeaway:

I wanted readers to understand how the simplicity of using common things in their daily lives can witness to others and impact generations.

Why the author wrote this book:

This story was based on the stories I was told from my grandfather's button box. It is a gentle reminder how our faith can be shared using the simple things in life.
