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.

Fragmented and disjointed in its early chapters, with poor spelling and grammar, Sarah’s journal gradually gains in clarity and eloquence as she matures. While this device may frustrate some readers at first, Taylor’s deft progression produces the intended reward: she not only tells of her heroine’s growth, but she shows it through Sarah’s writing and insights. The result is a compelling portrait of an enduring love, the rough old West and a memorable pioneer.
