From the bestselling author of These Is My Words comes this
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.
It is winter 1906, and 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. . . .
