#ThrowbackThursday. These is my Words

 

Turner, Nancy E. "These is my Words, The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901" - 1999

The story is based on the life of the author's grandmother, a courageous and clever woman, who taught herself to read as a teenager and was a pretty independent woman. It's a love story as well as a tale of the struggle people, especially women, went through in the early beginnings of the settlings in America.

I have read this book several times, once with my first book club ever, in England, once with my international book club who voted it best book of the year.
