I do not reward very many books with a 5 star rating It has to be just that amazing That being said, one of my favorite books of all time is These Is My Words despite the dumb title The second book in the series, Sarah s Quilt, was good, but no comparison to the first However, the third in the series is a contender to the first I didn t think it could be possible for me to give up my unique and sole devotion to one Jack Elliot, but in The Star Garden I was able to make room to love one man, Ude [...]

I m going to try not to gush here The Star Garden is the third book Nancy Turner has written about Sarah Agnes Prine, basing the character on her own great grandmother I don t think I m exaggerating when I say that Sarah is almost my very favorite heroine ever Of course, I will always love Elizabeth Bennett and Ann Elliot, among others But Sarah sure is up there Now, neither this book nor its predecessor, Sarah s Quilt, were as wonderful as These Is My Words, the first Sarah book But I love them [...]

I think I became enmeshed with the whole Prine family, reading these 3 novels I cried buckets with each of them the second book my childrend stopped asking what was wrong and my husband just looked at me and shook his head I really liked the main character, Sarah Agnes Prine, and identified with her in many ways I think the first book in this series, These is My Words, remains my favorite, but I surely did want to know what happened to everyone These novels make you glad to be alive in 2008 and [...]

Nancy E Turner is an amazing and talented storyteller She s taken some of the real life stories of her own great grandmother and woven them into a magical trio of books that I can only call the grown up Little House of the Prairie.The series began with These Is My Words, introducing Sarah Agnes Prine as a young girl It charts her life from her family s move out west by covered wagon and through her abusive first marriage in a land and at a time that would crush other people.Sarah s Quilt picks u [...]

This is the third and final book in the Sarah Agnes Prine trilogy These Is My Words, Sarah s Quilt I feel like Nancy Turner redeemed herself with this book I did not care much for Sarah s Quilt, and I think you could skip right over it and go from These Is my Words to this one I felt like the former, gritty Sarah was back in this installment Too many disasters and hardships befell her in Sarah s Quilt to the point where it bordered on ridiculous This novel, however, was realistic, and I felt c [...]

I wonder if I could go back in time and have Sarah Prine Elliott adopt me Maybe I would be Mary Pearl, the niece that s a bit too feisty for her times I m not sure I d be feisty or strong enough to be Sarah herself.The Star Garden is the third of this series, a welcome respite from the dark, dreary year chronicled in Sarah s Quilt I realize that the life of a frontier woman was difficult at best, but the hardships visited upon the Prine family that year were almost too much to bear The Star Gard [...]

I wish I knew a word for that kind of righteous ache that weighs down my insides when I do what I know is the right thing to do, though it goes against all my normal leanings pg 28 I tried to remember what Udell had said, about how going toward the future was better than just leaving the past behind pg 82 I think grandchildren are the best part of being a mother Twice the fun and half the worry pg 105 I listened to These is My Words on tape and was sorely disappointed when the actress reading it [...]

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 Why did Jack have to die in the first book My only other complaint is that Blessing died, I knew from the very beginning she needed to stay on the ranch with Aunt Sarah WHat a hard time to live in and while this is fiction I am sure it is a true story for than one [...]

I had such high hopes after reading all the reviews of this book I really liked These Is My Words, and I actually liked the first part of Sarah s Quilt even better But towards the end of that book and most of this book I felt like Turner was trying to just pack in as much dreadful occurrences as possible By the end of the story, she d focused so much on these events many of which didn t really feel fleshed out view spoiler e.g she seemed to have some plan in mind about Professor F but she never [...]

I cannot rave enough about this book and the whole trilogy I ve come to love the main character, Sarah Prine, so much that I can t stand the idea of no books about her life I swear I m going to write Nancy Turner and plead with her to continue the saga She is just one of the most memorable characters I ve ever read about And frankly all the characters in this latest book are so well drawn and realistic that you sweat bullets for them when they re in danger And they re in danger a lot in The Sta [...]

I really enjoyed this book I have loved the series Of course, my favorite is the first book written These is My Words In this book,it took me a little while to become refamiliar with the characters because it s been awhile since I read Sarah s Quilt But once I did, I fell in love all over again with the Prine family, and the ever strong and faithful family matriach Sarah I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two I just finished reading the last chapter, and had [...]

3.5 starsSo far, 2 really good novels and 2 that don t make the same grade This is one of the latter, though by much less than My Name Is Resolute Excessive amount of troubles levied on one family makes Wuthering Heights look almost a feelgood story This third book might perhaps have been better not written, it seemed like it was there to make an ending rather than for itself entire.

If this is the last in the series of Sarah Prine books, I will be very sad I could keep reading about her family and all the trouble that seems to follow them forever The characters are true to life, funny tough, sensitive ornery and I love them all Great story telling novels expertly written.

a good book on its own but still not as good as the first For some reason I was not as gripped by the story But perhaps it is because a i had grown comfortable with the characters as if they were my own family.

The third book of the trilogy by Nancy Turner recounting the adventures of Sarah Agnes Prine s life is just as entertaining and engrossing as the first two books These is My Words and Sarah s Quilt I couldn t put it down I could nitpick it and be a little critical, but I don t want to ruin the good vibe you get from the book I do know that the characters of Sarah and her sister in law are so well drawn that when they have some serious confrontational scenes, the emotions and implications express [...]

What a great end to a great series A lot of the story just detailed one hardship after another And if it hadn t been for the wonderfully amazing characters I don t think I would have finished this book But man, how can you not love Sarah and her family and friends I want to be her neighbor or sister in law or something This series almost makes me want to scorn technology and bake bread all day.

I ve really loved reading the story of Sarah Prine across these three books The first was definitely my favorite, but I really liked 2 3 I love the strength of her character while still retaining her femininity although, she would probably argue that point herself view spoiler I did get a bit tired of the never ending battling with Rudolfo and someone dying around every corner Chessally But so glad Gilbert didn t die I also grew tired of her on and off feelings for Udelle onrry the guy already H [...]

This is the long awaited third and possibly final installment in the series of books that includes These Is My Words and Sarah s Quilt All three books have Sarah Agnes Prine as their central character, and Sarah was the great grandmother of the author, Nancy Turner, who was an early settler of the Arizona Territory It is unclear how much of the books are pure fabrication, and how much is based on true life experiences of Turner s great grandmother certainly real historical events are part of the [...]

I loved the first book in the series, but felt like the other books didn t have anything worthwhile to say The third book is better than the second, which was so unrealistic This book was true to the characters, like the first book Still, I was upset that Sarah slept with Udell without being married something she never would have done in the first book Without that, it would have been a better book Plus, having she and Udell married just by declaring themselves married seemed a little ridiculo [...]

The third installment of the Sarah Prine series was right up there with the first book in the series These Is My Words After reading the second book in the series Sarah s Quilt and not being quite as impressed by it, I wasn t left wanting in The Star Garden It is so easy to become involved in the book, as though you are living it right along side Sarah or through Sarah Just SUCH a good depiction of the human spirit and of the Wild West.

I enjoyed this third installment based on the life of Sarah Prine better than the second Sarah s Quilt , but not nearly as much as the first These Is My Words , which still remains on my top ten list Though I felt that there was a resolution to the trilogy I still felt somewhat unsettled about a number of the author s plot decisions.

This was a wonderful end to the Sarah Agnes Prine series I love the character of Sarah and felt so many emotions as she continues to fight for what she loves her family, her land, and education Although neither of the last two books were as amazing as These Is My Words, I still very much enjoyed this book and will treasure this series always.

Often times a sequel to a beloved book disappoints by not living up to the magic of the original book That is not the case with The Star Garden I was hooked from page one, and this book didn t let up on its grip until the very last page I m so sad that my journey with these characters is done, but I know I ll think of them often in the weeks to come
