I just finished this book and absolutely loved it!! I liked it so much that I felt absolutely compelled to write the author and tell her so. I'm sure I made a complete fool out of myself but I just was totally enthralled by the book and couldn't put it down. These Is My Words is a historical fiction novel written in diary form. It is set during a time in Territorial Arizona when life was hard and tenuous. The story is a portrait of the courage and perseverance of one woman, and a love affair that will never be forgotten. I gasped, I laughed, I cried. I highly recommend this!! Any suggestions on my next read??

I have been dying to read that!! I heard from so many people that it was so good. You just confirmed it so without a doubt, it will be my next read. Have you ever read The Help? I read that a month ago for book club and it was a good one if you haven't read it. Just a suggestion since you are looking for your next read. Not so much a love story, but a very intriguing one none the less.
I also really enjoyed that book. I love historical fiction. I believe it has a sequel, or at least another one by that author (I think Lara told me that because she read it-you'll have to ask her).
niki -- i did read the help and LOVED it as well. it is such a great book!
cait -- that's right! i remember lara telling me that. i think there are two other books in the series. i will have to check them out. i too am a historical fiction junkie.
You sold me. Do you own it? May I borrow?
thanks for the recommend. i'll have to add this to my book list!!
Adding it to my books. Have you read Saving Ceecee Honeycutt? One of my new favorites!
amanda -- i am bringing it over.
whit -- the ceecee honeycutt book is also on my list! i can't wait to read it.
Have it. Started it. Will start it again. Thank you.
yes!!! there are 2 other books - the star garden and sarah's quilt. they are awesome - but the 1st one is the best!!!!
Sarah's Quilt is next. You will LOVE IT. I loved this series.
Also, I am currently reading Pope Joan. Seriously so good!
okay, so i just responed on FB that i would love to borrow your book without actually having come on here to see what it is...and I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! it is (honestly) one of my top-5 all-time (can you beat captain jack & pride & pred's mr. darcy? hardly...). LOVED. the sequel (sarah's quilt, and i think there might be another one after that even) was kind of a letdown, though. just fyi.
I read it too and loved it! Now you must read the next 2 in the series. They are wondeful as well. I have them should anyone want to borrow them.
