Publisher Description
Young Billie Ames naively fell for the exciting pilot Moss Coleman at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during World War II. Within a few months she was pregnant, married, and traveling across the country to Austin…to the 250,000-acre spread known as Sunbridge and into the tantalizing world of the Texas rich. In a vast land dominated by the industrious Colemans, Billie fights to maintain control of her life and her marriage.

"I can't tell you completely how I feel about this book. I loved,loved, loved the ending of it, when Moss' dream comes together, plus Billie and Thad finally get married, but the begining I had mixed emotions about the characters. I'm the kind who loves a strong women, and Billie deffantly wasn't strong. She let her mom make all the decisions for her, and she let Moss push her around, and if that wasn't bad enough, Moss' dad hated her and treated her like she was skum on the bottom of his chore boots. It took her way to long to stand up for what she wanted, but she finally did it, and stuck with it almost completely. A good start to the series, the rest of the series is much better than the first, which is odd for me because I almost always like the first book of a series the best, but not everything fits the mold."

" I thought it was going to be better. It was really long and not a lot of 'page-turning drama.' I borrowed the whole series from the library but I won't be reading the other three. Just not enough there. "
— Krista, 10/24/2013 -

" A very good read about a naive young girl who marries a rich Texan. What follows are years of heartbreak and a scewed up family life. Very entertaing. "
— Patricia, 10/2/2012 -
" As far as fiction/romance novels, this was pretty good. Kind of a slow start, but I got "wrangled" in after the first 100 pages or so. I enjoyed the multi generational stories embedded within the larger story. Very sad and depressing though. "
— Mendy, 7/28/2012 -

— Kathleen, 5/15/2012 -
" really good book for the first half, I didnt finish because the end was more of the same. "
— Jenny, 5/10/2012 -
" Like reading a soap opera script--light, trashy, cheesy as hell at times. Take it with you in the tub on a lazy day. I did. "
— Niketa, 1/13/2012 -
" This was just a chick book - really light reading. Romance involving a wealthy Texas family and all the tangle dynamics. I picked it up in audio format on a discount shelf for $5 and it was worth it. Good entertainment as I commuted to and from town. Not quality fiction, but just kind of fun. "
— Patti, 6/14/2011 -
" This is a great saga. It's been a long time since I have read it but I remember it being one of the best series that I have read. There are 4 in the set. It takes you through Billy's life from teenager to grandma "

" Mmmmmm! I enjoyed Fern Michael's Kentucky series so much -- now as I've just finished Texas Rich in tears -- I can't wait to get into the next of the Texas series. 4 of these instead of the 3 in "Kentucky" -- sounds good to me! "
— Darlene, 1/14/2009 -
" Billie and Moss.... from Boston to Texas... three children, and the introduction of their children. Billie struggles her whole life to fine her place on Sunbridge Ranch, and never quite makes a place for herself with Moss... book covered a lot of time. "
