The Legacy I Wrote: The True Value of Writing Your Story

by Deatrice Lockhart

Overview

Most of us are working hard to leave a legacy in regards to generational wealth, real estate, or community impact but what if you could leave a written legacy?

This book will allow families to start family libraries full of the truth even if it hurts. My hope is to see people from all over the world with catalogs of journals, books, and even videos of stories from family members that will outlive us all. For once, there will be the possibility of leaving behind words that can help generations to have revelations about their bloodline and about themselves.

.
Deatrice earned her bachelor's degree from East Carolina University and is currently pursuing her Master/Doctorate at NC State University for Psychology/Family Life Education. With an extensive background in TV/Film and Marketing, she has always gravitated toward storytelling. In 2019, she took a sabbatical in Guatemala City. It was during that time that she felt the need to not only write her story but encourage others to write their own. After 5 years of building in California, she relocated back to the Carolinas to be closer to family and to find ways to give back to the community that shaped her.

Editorial Reviews

I can truly hear Deatrice's serious and determined tone in every word on every page. Being able to hear such things is what makes a book strong and powerful. Even if a reader were to begin this book feeling skeptical, they would quickly be swept away by the emotions they feel from beginning to end. When a writer is able to pour out their heart and soul, the reader is able to pick up on that and feel inspired.
