Abstract:
"Legacy of the Lamp" is the sequel to "Guardian of the Lamp." This series chronicles the story of five generations of women whose lives epitomize the life of the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31, whose...."lamp does not go out by night." Our story continues in Charleston, S.C. during Reconstruction following the Civil War. On the morning of April 10, 1867, Leland Pinkston, the son of the protagonist of "Guardian of the Lamp," and his wife, Carlotta, awaken to a situation that will drastically alter the course of their lives and the lives of subsequent generations of the women of the Lamp.
