Somerset | 
pickThe prequel to "Roses" spans three generations of the Toliver family. Amid the Civil War and industrialization of the 19th century is the family saga and "curse" that the Tolivers endure.
Side note: The only author I know that kills off this many characters is George R R Martin?, but seriously.
BEST FAMILY SAGA - just like Gone With The Wind
Meacham returns to her beloved Tolivers and Warwicks in this prequel to her first best-seller, Roses. Spanning more than six decades, Somerset takes readers back to 1835 as Silas Toliver and Jeremy Warwick, younger sons of wealthy plantation owners, prepare to leave South Carolina in search of greater fortune in Texas.
