Fiction. Literature. Historical Fiction. HTML: "Belongs on your must-read list. This novel is a gem." �Omaha World-Herald Nancy E. Turner's unforgettable These Is My Words melds the sweeping adventures and dramatic landscapes of Lonesome Dove with the heartfelt emotional saga of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All. A moving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has set her upon�from child to determined young adult to loving mother�she shares the turbulent events, both joyous and tragic, that molded her, and recalls the enduring love with cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot that gave her strength and purpose. Rich in authentic everyday details and alive with truly unforgettable characters, These Is My Words brilliantly brings a vanished world to breathtaking life again. .… (mais)

I purchased this book thinking it was an actual diary, but discovered it is fiction when I picked it up to read. It is an interesting novel, a page-turner and I enjoyed reading it.

My husband and I have traveled throughout the southeast Arizona region, the setting for most of the story. However, I felt that Ms. Turner got a little carried away with some of the events and that the coincidences were a little too ironic. (

A story of frontier life taken from the true diary of the author's ancestor. What a spunky lady! (

Great book. I love when great books are author's firsts. This book reminded me a lot of a South West version of Gone with the Wind. There were a lot of the same pieces at work in this book. I am eager to read her follow ups now. Thanks for the recommendation Maggie (

3.5 stars. Horrible narration. I would have switched to the print book if it had been available at my library. The story itself held my interest enough that I didn't want to wait for the print book to become available. My husband heard a snippet and said, "That sounds like a robot!"

This is written as a diary of a woman in the 1880s through 1900 or so. It depicts the harshness of the historical period and the strength it took to carry on with life in the west during that time period. The parts in which the author veered toward romance fell flat for me. Some of the lines were just unbearable! (

A storm is rolling in, and that always makes me a little sad and wistful so I got it in my head to set to paper all these things that have got us this far on our way through this heathen land.

No one can eat. We have drank our tears for food.

I am making a rag rug with scraps the Maldonados gave me from all their children’s old worn out clothes. I told them what a happy rug it would be as it carries all the children’s laughter with it

It seems as if I can only think if I write my journal, it just connects the part of my head that is busy doing things with the part that is busy thinking about everything else.

... our home is Arizona Territory. There’s too much blood spilt on that land to leave it. It costs to live there, and we’ve both paid a price.

Now he is back, and I feel like my arm or something has been missing and now is returned to me. It is a hard feeling to describe, it is like the smell after a rain, and a paper journal will not hold the feeling of it.
