Christine B. Emmanuel

This sweeping narrative captures the expansive history and genealogy of the Westcott family in America spanning 400 years and 14 generations. In the genre of historical nonfiction, The Westcott Story factually depicts American life and human frailties across the ages. From immigration to colonization, from armed conflict to industrialization and artistic expression, the enthralling stories embody the spirit and value of cultural icons in every phase of America’s history.

In two volumes, The Westcott Story offers a rich, multi-generational perspective that invites thinking about ancestry and our shared American heritage. Deep insights into the lives, struggles, and triumphs of the author’s maternal lineage showcase sheer grit, determination, and resilience. The significant contributions and sacrifices made by the families in parallel with America’s remarkable course make it a compelling read for anyone interested in national history, the humanities, or personal stories of overcoming adversity.

The collection of detailed accounts and personal anecdotes emphasizes the importance of legacy and the enduring spirit that connects generations. Rooted in ancestry that dates to mid-13th-century England, The Westcott Story builds upon rigorous genealogical research accumulated since 1886. The rare blending of biographic, demographic, and social history resonates as we consider life’s circumstances and our relative standing as 21st-century Americans.​
