The Heiress he never met
Wren Isabella, working alongside her mother on the project's completion, found herself drawn particularly to the interviews with descendants of families the institute had helped decades earlier, families who had grown up, much like her own, already knowing their own restored history rather than discovering it themselves.
"I keep noticing a pattern," she told Ruthanne, reviewing the accumulated testimony together. "The second and third generations of every family we've helped seem to carry the history considerably more lightly than the first generation did. Not less seriously. Just — more naturally, the way you'd carry any other established fact about your own family."
