Bookroo's summary
Widow Tulip Jones moves from England to Texas, inheriting a ranch and a surprising problem: every bachelor in the state wants her hand in marriage. With only three servants and twelve pet tortoises, Tulip must devise a clever plan to manage the chaos and keep her peace. As suitors line up, will her strategy succeed, or will the ranch become a circus of romance and rivalry? Dive into a tale of wit, humor, and unexpected twists as Tulip navigates her new life in By-Golly Gully.
From the publisher
When Widow Tulip Jones of Bore, England, inherits a ranch in By-Golly Gully, Texas, and moves in with two trunks of tea, twelve pet tortoises, and three servants, hilarity ensues. The peaceful life suits the wealthy widow fine until word gets out and every unmarried man in Texas lines up to marry her. Widow Tulip and her small staff of three can’t possibly run the farm and manage all the suitors, so she devises a plan—and it just might work. This story filled with giant tortoises, 1,000 brides, bad guys, a smart widow, and even a little romance is sure to get kids laughing.
