Synopsis: Mail Order Bride: Turmoil Tilly From London & The Chicken, is about an independent spark of a woman from London, suddenly deciding to become a mail order bride and live in the Old West. The trouble is...she has no clue how to cook, clean house, or even get along with another human being within the closeness that marriage brings; let alone learn the ‘farm to table’ philosophy that will feed them both.
From her vantage point in the window of her upstairs bedroom, Tilly saw the mailman put a stack of letters into the mailbox at the end of their stone bordered driveway. She gathered her skirts about her and set out into the hallway, down the long staircase and out the front door, the gaping hole left by the unclosed piece of heavy mahogany an invitation to the damp air of a London day.

she breathlessly said to herself. For weeks, Tilly had covered this same course in search of a letter from the United States; a letter that she hoped would change her life of sameness and boredom. More than anything else, she hoped it would give her reprieve from the desire to strangle her overbearing mother, which was rooted in the perils of being an only child.
She closed her eyes and removed the loosely tied bundle of letters and such from the mailbox. The little prayer issued underneath those closed eyes was a daily repetition, which so far, hadn’t worked. Her patience and her faith were wearing thin.
Even with a throbbing heart and a pent-up desire to flip through the letters, Tippy punished her impatience and waited until she was inside again with the door closed behind her. Beside the hall table, she untied the piece of burlap string that the fastidious postman always used. She lifted the first three pieces of mail addressed to her highly esteemed father, expecting that the rest of the stack would also bear his name.
But, today was different. The fifth letter was addressed to her in a scrawled, manly handwriting. She pulled it close to her chest and waited for some telltale sign of what the letter might say. None came. In her fairytale leaning mind, Tilly imagined a life of romance the likes of which would cause Cinderella to feel shortchanged. And, she thought signs of such a life could be felt exponentially through the thickness of an envelope or the signs of prospective adventure that came to her through dreams.
In short, Tilly had a vivid imagination and a restless spirit, the combination of which had led her to this day and this letter.
Up the stairs she fled, two steps at a time, but halfway up, her toe missed the riser, sending her grabbing for the ornate banister to prevent
