Incredibly vivid and real and almost as though everything had been found, complete in a box somewhere., This is a beautifully written book that quickly captures readers' attention and holds it tightly and emotionally until the end., Clear, at times lyrical prose...providing vivid, colorful characters and historically accurate backdrop.
Synopsis
Inspired by the author's original family memoirs, this absorbing story introduces us to the questing, indomitable Sarah Prine, one of the most memorable women ever to survive and prevail in the Arizona Territory of the late 1800s. As a child, a fiery young woman, and finally a caring mother, Sarah forges a life as full and fascinating as our deepest needs, our most secret hopes, and our grandest dreams. She rides Indian-style and shoots with deadly aim, greedily devours a treasure trove of leatherbound books, dreams of scarlet velvet and pearls, falls uneasily in love, and faces down fire, flood, Comanche raids, and other mortal perils with the unique courage that forged the character of the American West. This action-packed novel is also the story of a powerful, enduring love between Sarah and the dashing cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot. Neither the vast distances traveled nor the harsh and killing terrains could quench the passion between them, and the loss and loneliness both suffer only strengthen their need for each other. While their love grows, the heartbreak and wonder of the frontier experience unfold in scene after scene: a wagon-train Sunday spent roasting quail on spits as Indians close in to attack; Sarah's silent encounter with an Indian brave, in which he shows her his way of respect; a dreadful discovery by a stream that changes Sarah forever; the hazards of a visit to Phoenix, a town as hot as the devil's frying pan; Sarah's joy in building a real home, sketching out rooms and wraparound porches. Sarah's story leads us into a vanished world that comes vividly to life again, while her struggles with work and home, love and responsibility resonate with those everywoman faces today., In a compelling fiction debut, Nancy 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***h (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI had a wonderful experience with this seller. He answered every communication and, there were five of them., lol. He even went so far as to answers questions that I had not thought of like whether the drive socket was dry or not. The product arrived as described and was well packaged. And the item was shipped expeditiously. The product was well worth the value. ❤️
- d***r (1101)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseGood seller ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, quick communication & response to messages. Great customer service. Interesting Ebay asks about shipping? Shipping was completely ridiculous & so unacceptable. The package was delivered totally beatup & destroyed. Pieces were sticking out of the box in at least 3 places. The box wasn't even double boxed anymore, as described by seller. Who knows what they did to it, but it broke some critical piece off of the tool. The seller quickly offered to make it right. Thank you !!!Vintage WILTON Model 121091 Angle Tilt Swivel 4" Bench Vise Made in USA (#196817242062)
