THESE IS MY WORDS by Nancy E. Turner

THESE IS MY WORDS is a classic adventure of one courageous woman’s life and struggles in the Arizona Territories during the late 19th century. This book takes the form of the semi-fictional the diary of Sarah Agnes Prine as she records her experiences in the Arizona Territories from 1881 to 1901. As Sarah travels by wagon across a harsh, unfamiliar frontier, she scrupulously details the family’s trials and tribulations in the prose of an intelligent but uneducated observer. From child, to determined young adult, to loving mother, Sarah shares the turbulent events that mold her personality, and recalls the enduring love of a cavalry officer that gives her strength and purpose.

This moving, exciting and heartfelt American saga was inspired by the author’s own family memoirs. Rich in authentic everyday details and alive with truly unforgettable characters, THESE IS MY WORDS brilliantly brings to life the vanished world of the Arizona Territories.
