From the seductive waters of Hawaii to the rustic splendor of Vermont, from the family's sprawling Texas ranch, Sunbridge, to the exotic beauty and high-tech glamour of Japan, the Colemans have been driven apart by the passions and betrayals of a new generation. But now, as they deal with the shattering news of Billie's illness, all the Colemans must transform their lives.

Billie Ames Coleman Kingsley, grande dame of the Coleman Empire, is dying, and her family must learn to live without her guiding hand. In the finale to TEXAS RICH, the Coleman children and grandchildren are at odds until they learn to pull together to keep the Coleman fortune intact and their traditions alive. Laural Merlington's familiarity with Michaels's characters adds continuity to this saga. Her accents are subtle as the dialogue switches from the New England nasal of Thad to the Texas twang of the Colemans to the stiffer Japanese phrasing of the Eastern half of the family. Author Michaels forces the Colemans to learn the value of family while coping with Billie's imminent death. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
