Gone with the Blowing wind meets The Help in the stunning prequel to Leila Meacham’s bestselling family epic Roses.

‘From delivery, Jessica had eschewed the part to which she’d been given birth to. Was it because she sensed that her father’s indulgence was payment for his disappointment in her? Jessica believed too much, questioned, challenged, rebelled. Sometimes Eunice believed her daughter should have been born a man.’

Born into the wealthiest & most influential family in about Somerset 1830s SC, Jessica Wyndham was expected to look appealing, work with decorum, and marry a suitably prominent and respectable man. However, her outspoken views and unflagging feeling of justice make her a difficult-and dangerous-firebrand, especially for slavery-dependent Carson Wyndham. Jessica’s examining of her powerful father’s love is only the beginning of the pain, enthusiasm, and triumph she will experience on a journey with the indomitable, land-obsessed Silas Toliver and headstrong Jeremy Warwick to a outrageous new land known as Texas.
