Beth Kephart's beautifully woven, lyrical narrative, “Inheritance,” tells a story of memory, loss, and what we carry with us after a loved one is gone. Through a series of poignant anecdotes, Kephart grapples with the remnants of her grandmother's life and the fleeting nature of memory. Particularly how personal objects and stories can evoke deep emotions and connections that seem to reach across time. Writing about these memories helps her reclaim lost stories and keep the spirit of those who have passed alive. As she finds comfort in her memories, Kephart highlights the bittersweet experience of discovery, as new insights into the family's history come to light, blending past and present.
