Just finished a wonderful book! A work of fiction, but based on some of the author's real family members, 'These Is my Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine' was a slice-of-life book that kept me interested from cover to cover. Not too gritty, but with plenty of real life challenges, the story opens with Sarah traveling with her family in a covered wagon. The story follows her through the loss of family members, birth of her children and the most fun of all, her relationship with Captain Jack Elliot. They are a complex couple with lots of twists and surprises in their relationship. This book was a triple treat for me as I love history, stories about Arizona, and love stories. This one has all three. When I finished this book, I was delighted to discover that there are a couple of sequels. I look forward to reading more about Sarah Prine Elliott!
