Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a
small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber
and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the
town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber
magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and
now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their
choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for
themselves but for their children, and children's children. With
expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred
years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of
passion for work and longing for love.
