☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBoots and her buddies plan a small, quiet wedding with only close friends present, but complications arise when extra guests unexpectedly arrive, forcing them to scramble to find transportation large enough for everyone. During the chaos, Boots and Horace become separated, with Horace ending up on a wild horse-drawn buggy ride while Boots and her friend Handy attempt to locate him. The story involves a mysterious man named Mr. Boxwood who claims to have known Handy years earlier during a summer in the foothills, leading to confusion about whether Handy actually remembers him, all while the wedding party tries to reach their destination.
Boots returns home to find that her old friend Horace has gotten engaged to Babe while she was away, and as the engagement party approaches, she discovers that keeping the couple on an even keel requires a delicate touch. When Professor Stephen Tutt expresses concern about Babe and Horace's constant bickering, Boots reassures him that their playful sparring is just how they show affection—but the real question is whether their love can weather the everyday chaos ahead. It's a warm domestic story about friendship, engagement, and learning what makes a relationship tick.
Babe and Horace are getting married—and the gang decides to make it unforgettable by holding the ceremony in a plane! With Boots as maid of honor and Ferdy as best man, the final preparations spiral into chaos as the bride and groom navigate pre-wedding jitters, money troubles, and the logistics of squeezing everyone aboard for the big moment. When the wedding party takes flight, a crucial problem emerges that threatens to derail the whole affair.
Babe and Horace's wedding day spirals into chaos when a plane emergency forces an unexpected landing, threatening to derail the ceremony entirely—but the determined couple and their friends refuse to call it off. After finally saying "I do," the newlyweds scramble to catch a train for their honeymoon, only to discover their rental "car" is actually a runaway horse named Agnes, sending them careening toward the station in wild fashion. As they board the train, Babe and Horace realize their rocky start might just be the perfect prelude to married life.
Boots lands a summer job as hostess at a mountain resort, where she charms guests and befriends Handy, a hardworking porter putting himself through school—until the arrival of the glamorous Chelsea Boxwood creates an awkward tangle of connections and conflicting loyalties. As Boots tries to balance her duties and her growing admiration for Handy's dedication, she discovers that not everyone at the resort is quite who they seem.
Boots takes a summer job at a lodge where the charming Mr. Chelsea Boxwood sweeps her off her feet—but her pal Handy suspects the suave guest isn't who he claims to be. When Handy uncovers the truth about Boxwood's real identity and discovers a string of thefts at the lodge, Boots learns a hard lesson about judging people by their polish and promises. A classic tale of deception and loyalty that shows why a true friend's vigilance matters more than a smooth talker's charm.
