  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;These Is My Words &lt;/i&gt;comes this exhilarating follow-up to the beloved &lt;i&gt;Sarah&amp;#8217;s Quilt&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;In the latest diary entries of pioneer woman Sarah Agnes Prine, Nancy E. Turner continues Sarah&amp;#8217;s extraordinary story as she struggles to make a home in the Arizona Territory.&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;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.&lt;br&gt;Behind the scenes, Sarah&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8217;s son Charlie unexpectedly returns from town with a new bride, the plot turns into an all-out range war between the two families.&lt;br&gt;Finally putting an end to Udell&amp;#8217;s constant kindnesses, Sarah describes herself as &amp;#8220;an iron-boned woman.&amp;#8221; 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. . . .&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I have to say that I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others. I couldn't decide if the author was trying to show how Sarah had grown and matured and changed her ways of thinking or if she was under pressure to make her more interesting and appealing to a broader audience. Either way, the transi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75527040">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book up until a certain point, and I don't know what point that was, but I realized that it was a little too far-fetched. I had such high expectations too from reading everyone's reviews.

    <body><![CDATA[First let me say that I adored the first 2 books about Sarah Prine. This third one felt like it had been written in a hurry and there were several parts where I didn't completely understand what was happening or instances where I had to go back to reread a page because I couldn't follow the dialogue...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57925520">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the 3rd book in the Sarah Agnes Prine series and I love her so of course I loved the book.  I am happy she ended up marrying Udell, he is so sweet and he did build her a castle and gave her 'WHAT SHE WANTED' but I still miss Jack!

    <body><![CDATA[The first is the best in this series.  I'm not sure I'd totally recommend reading the 2nd and 3rd at all.  Sarah seems to have plateaued in so many ways as a character and I spent much of this book wanting to smack her for not learning her lessons already.  There were some great parts, but I wasn't ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60837432">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is the 3rd in the &quot;These is My Words&quot; series. I have to say this trilogy is one of my all-time favorites. There is nothing lacking, nothing disappointing about the way Nancy Turner spins her great grandmother's life into this piece of fiction. I love the journey she (Sarah Elliot...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76012605">more...</a>]]></body>
