What this book is about
The Toliver, Warwick, and DuMont families are bound together — and torn apart — by a century of Texas history centered on a vast cotton plantation. Meacham's sweeping multi-generational saga follows their interconnected lives from 1916 to the present day. A big, satisfying read in the tradition of Southern family epics.
