Ilustration To Books Texas Rich (Texas #1)
The extraordinary novel that introduces the unforgettable Coleman family--and the brilliant heroine who began a powerful American dynastyYoung 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.
This is the captivating story of four generations. There's Moss, living in the shadow of a father whose obsession with power overshadows the needs of his only son; Jessica, the doomed mother who gave up everything to become the perfect Coleman wife; Moss and Billie's children, desperately trying to live up to insurmountable expectations; and the grandchildren, heirs to a tarnished empire who just might fulfill their dreams. Most of all this is the triumphant story of Billie Ames Coleman, a woman of courage and strength who holds them all together--in a tale as magnificent as the land that inspired it.

Wow, what a messed up and crazy story. (Billie and Moss) To me this is how a lot of men looked at the women in their lives, in this time, they were second rate and sons were what they wanted. I'm glad that Billie finally found her back bone and in the end it was Billie who took care of Moss. His high school sweetheart wasn't there for him. I want to read the next one just to see what trouble the crazy daughter stirs up.This book started out really good but it just continued to be too depressing. The way that Billie Coleman was treated like a doormat by her husband and an outsider to her father in law, not to mention the disrespect from her children is why I rated it 3 stars. A Big Texas romance and there were some good story lines however.
I absolutely love this book and have read it several times. Having been born and raised in Texas is what most likely drew me to this story. I found it years ago on the shelf in my childhood home and with my mom's permission started reading it. I was instantly in love. It reads like an episode of the TV series "Dallas" and I can't help but wonder if the characters were written with that show in mind. This isn't a put down at all, but a compliment. This is the first book in a Texas Trilogy of
Plot summary: self-centered rich people do selfish things.I was visiting my family, and ran out of reading material. The horror! My Mom gave me her old copy of Texas Rich, and said if I liked it, there was a whole series. Although the action, and historical accuracy, was good enough to keep me turning the pages, the real killer for me was how flat all the characters were--even my favorite, Agnes the Manipulative Mother Determined Not To Die Poor. Agnes' character fizzles out after she marries
Rating: 3.5?Review to come.
God Awful book! Do not read, even if you're stranded in the middle of the ocean with one book to occupy your time. Billie is meek, gorgeous and a virgin, which means her evil mother pimps her out to the first millionaire that catches her eye, Moss. Never mind he's too old and a snake of a human who is known for taking girls v cards and sailing into the next port.Billie never grows much of a backbone, and don't bother waiting for her wise up and leave Moss although he's killing her one pregnancy
I don't understand why people live miserable lives or why you would suffer each and everyday! Reach out and grab what you need. Verbalize your needs, wants and desires. Don't let your children be ignored or mistreated by your spouse! Be strong!
