Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of These Is My Words comes an exhilarating follow-up to the beloved Sarah's Quilt. In the latest diary entries of pioneer woman Sarah Agnes Prine, Nancy E. Turner continues Sarah's extraordinary story as she struggles to make a home in the Arizona Territory.

Winter 1906. Nearing bankruptcy after surviving drought, storms, and the rustling of her cattle, Sarah remains a stalwart pillar to her extended family. Then a stagecoach accident puts in her path three strangers who will change her life.

In sickness and in health, neighbor Udell Hanna remains a trusted friend, pressing for Sarah to marry. When he reveals a plan to grant Sarah her dearest wish, she is overwhelmed with passion and excitement. She soon discovers, however, that there is more to a formal education than she bargained for.

Behind the scenes, Sarah's old friend, Maldonado, has struck a deal with the very men who will become linchpins of the Mexican Revolution. Maldonado plots to coerce Sarah into partnership, but when she refuses, he devises a murderous plan to gain her land for building a railroad straight to Mexico. When Sarah's son, Charlie, unexpectedly returns from town with a new bride, the plot turns into an all-out range war between the two families.

Finally putting an end to Udell's constant kindnesses, Sarah describes herself as "an iron-boned woman." She wants more than to be merely a comfortable fill-in for his dead wife. It is only through a chance encounter that she discovers his true feelings, and only then can she believe that a selfless love has at last reached out to her.

Loved this final book of the trilogy

Loved how it’s based off the diaries of relative of the author. I’m grateful she’ brought this to life in a novel.

Learned so much history and what it took to live in the West.

I completely enjoyed the 3 book series….would have preferred all 3 titles in this series to be read by the same person. Loved the story and details.

Great continuation of the story

This is a series to read over and over. This book moves the story forward with the same characters and their stories all get better.

My only complaint, is that it’s over.

What an extraordinary story, She’s right though, there aren’t many women like Sarah or the likes of her family, anymore. It saddens me that I don’t get any more Sarah Prine stories, but I absolutely love Turner’s writing. I plan on reading everything. Definitely buy these books, you won’t regret it.

I’m so sad it’s over!

I’m so sad it’s over! I’m in love with Sarah and her family. I keep hoping there will be another book in the series. The way the author describes the weather and the landscape makes you feel that you are in Arizona with them.

Didn't want it to end

Loved this entire series. The rich details about the land and life were very informative and gave so much to the story. Shows how important our family is to one another.

Great story, rough narration

Love this story, but I don’t love the narration. There’s something wrong with the audio quality in general but also the narrator’s voice is grating. She does a good job with speaking for different people but the strange ringing and the shrill tone of her voice stay a noticeable problem throughout.
