Set in Austin, Texas, this family saga features the naïve Billy Ames, who falls in love with WWII Navy pilot Moss Coleman, heir to a Texas ranching fortune. When Moss sends a pregnant Billy and her manipulative mother to his home in Texas, his strong-willed father takes an instant dislike to Billy, forcing her to develop some Texas grit. Laural Merlington takes the personalities of Michaels's work and gives them strong voices, which mature as the characters do. Love, strength of will, and dreams are reflected in Merlington's straightforward narrative, which leaves no emotion unturned. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine--

Review
“A big, rich book in every way, rich in characterization, rich in plot, and rich in emotion. I think Fern Michaels has struck oil with this one.”
–PATRICIA MATTHEWS
“A steaming, sprawling saga . . . As always, Fern Michaels writes a full story with bigger-than-life characters we would look forward to meeting. . . . A rags-to-riches saga that would make a colorful movie.”

Romantic Times“Talk about action! There is more in this epic than in five novels. And it’s fascinating, interesting, and exciting. One of those rare books, the kind the reader doesn’t want to end. A real winner!”
