Widowed philanthropist Judith Stanford is summoned to Minneapolis by the estranged grandfather who demands that she prove herself worthy of his inheritance. Physician Roman Turner is drawn to Judith but carries a bitter history with her grandfather, whose unethical actions damaged Roman's family years earlier. As Judith considers using the fortune to repair some of that harm, someone else's interest in the money turns the inheritance into more than a family dispute. This 1890s historical romance opens A Minnesota Legacy with philanthropy, medical service, family wrongdoing, faith, and the difficult work of forgiveness. This historical romance suits readers who enjoy disputed inheritances, family secrets, and forgiveness put to the test by the chance to repair old wrongs.
