Product Description:
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Loved it!
Not traditionally a fan of historical fiction, I found this book intriguing and well written, and I wanted to continually turn the pages to the end. It paints the fascinating story of a real woman, her feelings and her life during a difficult time and difficulties that all during that time period had to endure. My book club even called the author, who spoke at our meeting via phone; Ms. Turner gave us more than an hour of her time, providing much background and perspective to the story.
Rating: - Loved it!
This is absolutely one of my favorite books. I don't typically enjoy historical fiction that much, but I've read These Is My Words twice and loved it both times.
I felt totally connected to Sarah, like I was going through all the good and bad times with her. I laughed, I cried, it was great. I couldn't put this book down, and felt so disappointed when it was over! In the following days, I actually felt like I missed Sarah, like she was a person that I actually knew!
This book is fascinating ... Read More
Rating: - Loved it!
This is a story that you can't put down. Written from an honest heart, you really feel like you are living the story with the characters.
Rating: - Woman's issues
These is My Words is filled with wild west high adventure. It is fast paced and reminds me of watching an action movie. Sarah grows from not understanding what is love. How it is demonstrated etc... to a profound understanding of a healthy marriage relationship. Filled with woman's issues: child bearing & rearing, pregnancy, marriage, courage, strength, meekness, life and death. A woman's classic.
Rating: - I LAUGHED AND I CRIED
This book is great. It has everything ----- humor, sadness, romance, and just pure true grit!! Sarah and Jack are exceptional characters. I couldn't put the book down, but wanted more when it was over.
