Best Book by Leila Meacham

This is the 3rd book by Leila Meacham that I read. I loved "Tumbleweeds", liked "Roses" and absolutely adored "Somerset". It is the prequel to "Roses". I wish I had read it first. So much history. The story begins in South Carolina, takes the characters on a wagon train excursion into Texas before it is a State, through the Civil War and beyond. The characters create a town that grows into a thriving city. The love story between 2 people who are forced into an arranged marriage is beautiful. Highly recommend this book.
