I bought The Legacy for my Kindle as an inexpensive way to help the Japanese Tsunami victims, but once I started reading it, I was I hooked.Leigh Becker is a college student with a less than ideal home life.  She uses graphic novels as a way to escape to another place and envies her friend Andy Tanaka's strong family ties.  When Andy calls, excited to tell her he's found an old wooden chest in a storage shed on the Tanaka flower farm, she hurries over to take a look.  Inside the dusty lacquered chest they find a pair of antique swords, some Samurai robes, and a mysterious scroll written in Japanese.  Why were these lovely objects hidden away and and by whom?Eager to get the answers that might link the storied Samurai legacy to his family, Andy and Leigh begin a journey of discovery.  But this one could lead to a heartbreak that was better left undisturbed.I loved the strong characters and the rich descriptions in The Legacy.  I sincerely hope there is more about this family in the works. I'll be watching for other works by Ms. Kiyono.
