ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Heirlooms
Author: Sandra Byrd
Publisher: Tyndale
Release Date: July 5, 2022
Genre: Dual Timeline Fiction, Christian
Answering a woman’s desperate call for help, young Navy widow Helen Devries opens her Whidbey Island home as a refuge to Choi Eunhee. As they bond over common losses and a delicate, potentially devastating secret, their friendship spans the remainder of their lives.
After losing her mother, Cassidy Quinn spent her childhood summers with her gran, Helen, at her farmhouse. Nourished by her grandmother’s love and encouragement, Cassidy discovers a passion that she hopes will bloom into a career. But after Helen passes, Cassidy learns that her home and garden have fallen into serious disrepair. Worse, a looming tax debt threatens her inheritance. Facing the loss of her legacy and in need of allies and ideas, Cassidy reaches out to Nick, her former love, despite the complicated emotions brought by having him back in her life.
Cassidy inherits not only the family home but a task, spoken with her grandmother’s final breaths: ask Grace Kim—Eunhee’s granddaughter—to help sort through the contents of the locked hope chest in the attic. As she and Grace dig into the past, they unearth their grandmothers’ long-held secret and more. Each startling revelation reshapes their understanding of their grandmothers and ultimately inspires the courage to take risks and make changes to own their lives.
Set in both modern-day and midcentury Whidbey Island, Washington, this dual-narrative story of four women—grandmothers and granddaughters—intertwines across generations to explore the secrets we keep, the love we pass down, and the heirlooms we inherit from a well-lived life.

MY REVIEW
Heirlooms is a wonderful title for this Dual Timeline book. As the book is wrapping up the author makes it very clear what our heirlooms should be. Very small and unimpressive tokens or objects can mean more to us than anything.
In this book the three generations of friends end up connected in numerous ways. With the dual timeline, it’s obvious early on that from the first two friends that live in the house are creating a lasting legacy of friendship and God’s love.
Although the theme is certainly beautiful and wholesome, I feel like much of the book is just the author describing different types of flowers, herbs, and Korean foods. During all these pages of telling ingredients in the recipes, I found it to be boring.
The cover is beautiful and the sharing of the ladies relationships with God is very inspirational.
