About this listen

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 loved this book when I read it years ago and never forgot the story even though I forgot the title. so happy to have found it again on audible although I did prefer the read over the narration. Epic love story in a wild and harsh time.

My all time favourite love story

I love a good Romance so this book satisfied my genre appetite. I have not read many American sagas and I found the historical context interesting. Amy Rubinate's narration was brilliant. At 13 hours it is a long listen - more bang for your buck! If you listen to as many audiobooks as I do, you look for the long ones. This is the first of a trilogy and I will certainly be listening to the other two.
