Sarah's Quilt


by Nancy Turner

It's the next book in the little series about Sarah Agnes Prine. I really liked how the first book - These is My Words - was written. It was written in a journal style that I really liked. This book was written as a normal novel, so I missed the other style of writing. I did enjoy this book, but the first remains my favorite so far.

These is My Words by Nancy Turner




Okay so I really do like 98% of the books that I read. This one I love. In fact when I finished it I started it over again. It takes place in the Arizona Territories in the late 1800's early 1900's. The family is moving to settle in another part of the Territory when it begins. They see a lot of hard times. It is written as the diary of the main character Sarah Prine. Get this book and read it!

My sister in law recommended the book and I just found out there are 2 more in the series: Sarah's Quilt and The Star Garden. I am on the waiting list for them at the library.

The Fishers of Men Series



Okay so if you haven't noticed yet, I like/love most of the books I read. These were especially interesting to me because I did not know much about the Jewish religion or their customs. I enjoyed reading about the time of Christ.

Fire and the Covenant

The Fire and the Covenant by Gerald N. Lund

I really liked this book. I have to admit that I thought I knew the story of the Willie and Martin Handcart companies, but now I really know.



It was a tear jerker. I can only try to be as faithful as those saints. I am still in awe.
