Representaion Concering Books Texas Rich (Texas #1)

The extraordinary novel that introduces the unforgettable Coleman family--and the brilliant heroine who began a powerful American dynasty

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.

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.

Judgment Based On Books Texas Rich (Texas #1)
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

This was the first Fern Michaels book I read. The Texas series is one of my favorite series of books. I read them for the first time about ten years ago, and I still enjoy going back and reading them again every couple of years. The characters develop really well. This (as well as the rest of the series) is a book that you can't put down until the end and it leaves you wanting more. It is great to follow such a story, a history of a family, for so long of a timespan. I'm not much of a romance

It was just sad all the way around. I did think when Agnes and Seth go "theirs" it was justified and somewhat humorous.

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 hated almost everything that happened in this book......but I couldn't put it down or stop reading it. I don't know if I will move on to the other books in this series or not. It was too stressful and everyone was too manipulative and mean. Billie didn't deserve half of what happened to her and Moss was just a jerk.....no other words for it. The best part of this book was Moss on his deathbed. He tells Billie he loves her (finally) and she replies, "I know you do." Good for her!!!
