Sironia, Texas, Two-Volume Set, Madison Cooper, 1952

"Sironia, Texas is a novel by American author Madison Cooper that describes life in the fictional town of Sironia, Texas, in the early 20th century. The book won the Houghton Mifflin Literary Award. Sironia is widely thought to be a thinly disguised version of Cooper's hometown of Waco, Texas."

This book is also so long that it had to be separated into two volumes!
