Legacy is a collection of poems written to each of Ilene's grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren at the time of publication. It ends with a poem to any future children whom Ilene will not meet. It is a deeply personal, loving collection of tributes from a devoted grandmother to her family, the legacy that she will leave behind her. Even if readers don't personally know Ilene's family, they can take away the raw, beautiful emotion in each poem and apply it to their own family relationships.
