This book is a heartwarming story of one family's sojourn over eight generations. Its stories are wrapped around the actual records of births, marriages and deaths found in the Register at the Priory in Christchurch, UK. Its fictitious style brings life to the readers and exposes them to a myriad of emotions such as distress, disappointment, sorrow, resiliency, anticipation, freedom and joy. While the book relates to the Verge clan, its narrative genre of literature can easily be applied to genealogies everywhere.
