Summary: Enjoyable, romantic and sometimes unbelievable
Comment: This book captivted me with it's love story and unique style of protrayal (journal entries). While the romance of Sarah and Jack and the setting near my own hometown (Tucson, AZ)kept me reading, it left my husband bored. He agrees the story is sweet and some of the action interesting, but at times unrealistic. We both agree that Sarah appears to be Annie Oakley in the beginning of the book (a perfect shot is a bit hard to believe). But on the whole if you are looking for romance, some action and some unique characters this book is a wonderful read. I admit for a any short comings I found myself engrossed all the same.

Summary: Turner is Tops in Debut
Comment: Sarah Agnes Prine, the heroine of Nancy E Turner's first novel, "These Is My Words", is a strong -- and strong-minded -- young woman. Raised with a passel of brothers, she learned to hunt, ride bareback, and "shoot a tick off a dog's back" at an early age. Written journal style, the story chronicles Sarah's life in the Arizona Territory from 1881 to 1901. It details encounters with Indians and outlaws, immigrants and soldiers, especially one particular Army captain whose path seems to cross hers frequently. Sarah's journal records births and deaths, many violent, and some by her own hand. It tells of her first, loveless marriage, and following her husband's untimely death, her second marriage to Captain Jack Elliot. "I love him with all the love I have ever had," she wrote. Sarah is a lusty, gutsy, surprising heroine with a healthy share of feminism for her time. The book, winner of the Arizona Author Award and finalist for the Willa Cather Literary award, offers an intriguing glimpse of southwestern history as lived by real people. A thoroughly absorbing and enjoyable read.

Summary: A Wonderful Book!!
Comment: The immediacy of the first person narrative coupled with the author's use of understatement in Sarah Prine's journal thoughts and writings made this one of the best books of the year for this reader. From the first sentence, I was completely immersed in Sarah's world and felt priviledged to meet all the members of her family and to witness her relationship with Capt. Jack Elliot. There are unforgettable men that we as readers all carry in our hearts, and Capt. Jack Elliot certainly deserves to be included among them! These Is My Words is just one of those wonderful, sink-right-in-to-the-book stories...tailor made for a cozy winter weekend reading experience.
