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. Frontier life through the eyes of Sarah Agnes Prine, a rancher's wife in Arizona who has to deal with Indians and outlaws, rifle in hand. Stuck in a loveless marriage, her romantic life picks up when her husband dies and she meets an army captain. Told in the form of a diary and based on a real-life person 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.
