I read this for my Tyler book club, fun since it was set in East Texas. My mom said it was a lot like Gone With the Wind, but I have never seen it so I don't know. I thought it was a very good book. I enjoyed it, but it did drag here and there. I think it had some good twists and turns and I do like that they got that small towns with "founding families" have lots of secrets and reasons for what they do. I also think that there were some very accurate representations of how money changes people and can ruin families if you let it, thankfully not everyone in the book let it! Well worth reading if you have the time.
