In 1906, the badlands of Southern Arizona Territory is a desolate place where a three-year drought has changed the landscape for all time. When Sarah's well goes dry and months pass with barely a trace of rain, Sarah feels herself losing her hold upon the land. Today I finished the second book in Nancy E. Turner's trilogy, Sarah's Quilt about the life of Sarah Agnes Prine, mother and pioneer. Like the first novel, These Is My Words, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am definitely looking forward to finishing the trilogy with Star Garden next.

This continues the story of Sarah and the troubles she goes through, including a tornado that destroys her home and a fire, that is set by a family and their friends trying to burn her out of home and cattle. Oh yes and the saga continues of her Mexican/American neighbor who wants to marry her so he will be more likely to be elected governor of the territory.

Just finished this today and started the 3rd and last of the Sarah Agnes Prine series about life in the old Arizona territory.: The Star Garden.
This continues the story of Sarah and the troubles she goes through, including a tornado that destroys her home and a fire, that is set by a family and their friends trying to burn her out of home and cattle. Oh yes and the saga continues of her Mexican/American neighbor who wants to marry her so he will be more likely to be elected governor of the territory. Never happen, but Sarah does meet the man she realizes she will probably marry as her third husband. My wife read the final two books in the series in less than a week. I have never seen her so engrossed.in reading since we were married five years ago.

In the follow up to “These Is My Words”, “Sarah’s Quilt” is a strong sequel about the pioneer woman Sarah Agnes Prine. Sarah’s story continues as life’s hardships continue to rain down upon her. As if being recently widowed isn’t bad enough, Sarah now endures drought, thirst, a mysterious teenage nephew and the constant badgering of one man’s marriage proposal.

I really enjoyed this second book. The first one had a five star rating but I was unable to give the second one just as stellar of a review. I think the story as a whole could have benefitted from additional editing. It seemed like there was a lot of repetition on facts we already knew. We didn’t need to hear the same story two, three or even four times. I felt that if this had been done and 20 or so pages cut out, the story would have flowed a lot nicer, giving it a faster, better pace. It was still good though and I’m planning on diving into the third and final book right now.

I've never visualized a story as much as I did Sarah's Quilt. I felt Sarah's passions of love and strength and family.
7 months - wow. I did not pay attention to the amount of time passed in each chapter but I knew it was another day or week or month. I would pay closer attention to that pic I read it again.
I've read hundreds of books. I count in one hand the books I've given five stars.

I read this authors first book called This is my Words, in which she introduced most of the primary characters and started the story when Sarah was young. It is written in the style of a journal and the author writes in jargon and speech patterns that sound realistic for the place and time. Completely fleshed out characters and story line and I couldn't wait to finish the first book and see what happened to everyone in the second novel. I highly recommend this for anyone, possibly with the caviot of 14 yrs and up. Some descriptions of sounds and the occasional frontier battles. No sex scenes and rare mild vids words.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series: These Is My Words. I was so looking forward to the continuation of Sarah Prine’s journey in Sarah’s Quilt. However, I found this book to be filled with too many unbelievable disasters and remedies. I realize the Wild Wild West really was filled with tragedies, but this book brought that to a level that was just too unbelievable. For example, building a dream house in a matter of weeks. I live in southern AZ and that’s impossible even with today’s machines and resources.

I couldn't put this book down! There were twists and turns at every corner. Life was hard in the early 1900's and Nancy Turner details just how hard it was in the Arizona territory. There is humor and joy as well but the people that persevered deserve the greatest admiration. Her characters come to life as if they are our own relations living in our memories.

Read a comment that all these things could not have happened to one person and her family. While this is a work of fiction, based on the stories of her grandmother and others, I must disagree. That person never lived in those times. Life was not easy. Many of that era never left written record of their lives. My mother didn't either (live in those times or leave a written record, though I wish she had), but had many wonderful stories of her life as the wife of a my dad, a cowboy in Wyoming in the late 1940's, so I found the book especially interesting.
I digress. This is a great story of a strong woman living in perilous times.
I STRONGLY suggest this a a "must read", and be sure to also read The Star Garden as a sequel.
I fully intend to re-read this fairly soon.

An excellent read! I live in Tucson, AZ, and Ms. Turner really gets her places, weather and most facts straight! I loved this book, as I couldn't put down her first one, "These Is My Words", and I'm now onto the third, which, unfortunately is the last of this "series." As a youngster into this book of middle age (20s to about 50 then), this is a real pageturner with Indians, neighbors, drought and other catastrophes. The book is about all the dust, wind, tragedies, perils, and more than Sarah could handle these days! It's a very tough life with the heat, drought, and days of no wind then super wind, etc. A very realistic view of life in early Arizona when Tucson was a small town with a University being built, and Sarah lives about 7 hours by buggy south of here....almost in Mexico. I felt like I was really there. Share the tragedies and triumphs of a REAL southern girl and the rest of her life....not frills, just grit and joy.
