Synopsis: One hundred fifty years of Roses' Tolivers, Warwicks, and DuMonts! We begin in the antebellum South on Plantation Alley in South Carolina, where Silas Toliver, deprived of his inheritance, joins up with his best friend Jeremy Warwick to plan a wagon train expedition to the "black waxy" promise of a new territory called Texas. Slavery, westward expansion, abolition, the Civil War, love, marriage, friendship, tragedy and triumph-all the ingredients (and much more) that made so many love Roses so much-are here in abundance.Review: I absolutely loved Roses and was waiting for a sequel. A prequel will do.
This isn't a book you read, this is a book you climb right into and live. Meacham is a gifted storyteller and nobody weaves a better family saga in the historical fiction genre.
