The Heritage: A Story to Remember by Lawrence Darmani

When Kwame's grandmother dies, he inherits a small wooden chest that no one has opened in fifty years. Inside, he finds a diary, his grandmother's diary, written when she was a young woman. As Kwame reads, he discovers a story his family never told: of forbidden love, of a terrible betrayal, of a sacrifice that saved the family but destroyed the woman who made it. The Heritage is a novel about the power of stories, the weight of the past, and the question of what we owe to those who came before us.
