Thank you Bookishfirst for this win. This was a very difficult book for me to read. Because of all the characters I continuously found myself lost and had to backtrack to remind myself who was who and their relationship to each other. The story takes place in Texas in an old German farming community There is an ongoing feud about purchasing and developing land for a subdivision. Money is a major theme and as the saying goes “money is the root of all evil”. I thought the town of Fredericksburg was charming and its residents interesting but somewhat sad. There is a lot of scheming and lying in the story as families struggled to keep their homesteads. I didn’t care for the “cutting” part. I thought this story was pretty down to earth but I can understand why reviewers may put it aside.
