Overview
"LEGACY" is a heartwarming collection of 10 short stories for young adults. Some of the stories are based on the author's impromptu, on–demand storytelling to his young children. Instead of reading a story, he would make one up – his kids would cry "tell me a story from your mouth!", so he would. A few of the stories are based on the author's real experiences; some thrilling, some funny, some heart stopping. All in all, the reader will find the stories unusual, somewhat unexpected, and humorous.
