Framed has suggested books for five states: "James Michener has written several books about different states that start at the beginning of time:
Hawaii,
Texas,
Centennial (Colorado),
Chesapeake (Maryland), and
Alaska. I enjoyed
Hawaii and
Centennial the most, but they are really big books."


Maryland

Colorado
All of Michener's books are big books! Good suggestions, thanks.

A few more suggestions (ones I came up with immediately after hitting the Publish button on my last comment)
MARYLAND - anything by Anne Tyler, whose books are so specifically set in Baltimore. For example, The Accidental Tourist
WASHINGTON - Citizen Vince by Jess Walter is set in Spokane
NEW MEXICO - Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather captures the essence of this state
Hello,
I have a couple of suggestions for Hawaii/ The first one,Moloka'i by Alan Brennert, is on my list to be read. The second one is Mr. Monk goes to Hawaii by Lee Goldberg. Hope this is helpful. I could only find the one suggestion here.
