Blurb:

Billie Ames was naïve but a real knockout when she met Moss Coleman at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during World War II. Within a few months she was pregnant and married to him. It was a marriage that brought Billie-and her mother, Agnes-across the country to Austin, to a 250,000 acre spread called Sunbridge, and to the world of TEXAS RICH.

This supremely entertaining novel the story of four generations of the Colemans of Texas--of Moss and his father, Seth obsessed with power, with airplanes, and with building a dynasty…of Seth’s wife Jessica, who molded herself into the kind of woman Seth wanted…of Moss and Billie’s children, who have trouble living up to the family’s expectations…of their grandchildren, who just might fulfill all their dreams. It is the story too, of Agnes Ames, who takes to wealth and power like she was born to it, and of Thad Kingsley, Moss’s best friend, who secretly loves Billie. Most of all, it is the story of Billie herself and her struggle to become her own person in a world dominated by Colemans.

My thoughts:

Very captivating and engaging story! I love well done legacy reads like this book. It had me glued to the pages. While this book was quite thick and had small lettering it took me forever but it was a thick book well worth it. Just when I had things guessed it would take you into a different direction from what was expected with some odd twists thrown in towards the end. I will for sure be getting to the rest of this series as it is a 4 book series of this intriguing and exciting family.

Never knew what was once warm is now a cold place.
