“Belongs on your must-read list. This novel is a gem.” —Omaha World-HeraldNancy 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.

"An amazing book that allows you to watch the main character grow not only in maturity as time goes on, but their writing abilities. I read this book years ago and it is still my favorite. "

"Diary format. Tineframe"

"Terrible and heart wrenching, this beautifully written diary had me captivated in every entry. The love story was slow and satisfying, beautiful and wholesome. I lived in Southern AZ, the wild frontier, for days after closing this book."
