Happy First Day of July, everyone! July is my favorite month. Summer (my favorite season) is in full swing. Fourth of July fireworks and BBQs are on the horizon. My favorite part of the month is right at the end, though. Why, you ask? My birthday!
Since July is birthday month, I'm choosing one of my favorite books for book club:
The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901
by Nancy E. Turner
From Amazon: A moving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has set her upon—from child to determined young adult to loving mother—she shares the turbulent events, both joyous and tragic, that molded her, and recalls the enduring love with cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot that gave her strength and purpose.
Rich in authentic everyday details and alive with truly unforgettable characters, These Is My Words brilliantly brings a vanished world to breathtaking life again.
I so look forward to reading this one again. I love historical fiction, so this is right up my alley. The book takes place in the Arizona Territories in the late 19th century. Sarah Prine is a feisty woman, and I admire her (even if she is mostly fictional). Jack Elliot is a man worth his salt, too. Their love story might be my favorite one in literature.
This book gets an average rating of 4.37 stars on Goodreads, 4.5 stars on Barnes & Noble, and 4.7 stars on Amazon. I give it 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it as much.
Happy Reading!
P.S. I almost chose The Anatomy of Peace for birthday month. If you haven't read it, you should give it a go.
