How can a woman possibly love two men? The choice she makes now will forever determine the course of her life, and the lives of generations to follow. Will her heart find a home? What legacy will Mary Lou leave to posterity? Follow this pioneer woman's story through four complete novels, all in one volume.

Tumbleweeds is a great read, the story of a ranch in Texas and a woman who marries and moves there. The drama that takes place between the men and the women on the Circle Z ranch includes the birth of grandbabies for Mother Allena and the stories of the women her sons marry. Particularly, the book focuses on Mary Lou Mackey and her marriage to Tom Langdon. She leaves Kansas to live with her new husband and share his life in Texas among his family members. All four novels in the book flow right into each other, so the book is almost like one novel - a good thing if you enjoy reading Barbour Inspirational Romances as much as I do!
