Favorites Friday: Historical Fiction..Leila Meacham

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genre. Leila Meacham is an amazing writer in this genre. 

Roses and it's prequel, Somerset, are both beautiful stories about an amazing and strong woman. I read these quite a few years ago and loved them enough to keep them on my shelves with plans to reread them someday. I honestly bought Roses because I loved the cover and I am so happy that I did.  I loved the story and the characters. The books are about Mary Toliver and her travels west to Texas with her husband to run a cotton farm. I have read reviews comparing Roses to Gone With the Wind.  

If you enjoy historical fiction you will love these books.
