“Backlight: A Fesler Family
Chronicle” by Toby Fesler Heathcotte is a beautifully written account of the
authors endeavor to trace her family’s genealogy, in an effort to better
understand how one’s heritage helped determine who they are today.
Heathcotte did extensive background research, ancestral
searches and interviews with living family members to gain the information on her
family history. I thought this read would be one that would only benefit the
Fesler family; however, I was quite intrigued by how ingenious the families
were in the quest to survive, and how life was from 1684 to 1969. The author
provided vivid descriptions of events, and I felt like I transported through
history with the incredible narrative.
I thoroughly enjoyed "Backlight: A Fesler Family
Chronicle" by Toby Fesler Heathcotte. It was informative, meaningful, and
beautifully written.
