Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From the bestselling author of These Is My Words comes this exhilarating follow-up to the beloved Sarah's Quilt. In the latest diary entries of pioneer woman Sarah Agnes Prine, Nancy E. Turner continues Sarah's extraordinary story as she struggles to make a home in the Arizona Territory.It is winter 1906. Nearing bankruptcy after surviving devastating drought, severe storms, and the rustling of her cattle, Sarah remains a stalwart pillar to her extended family. Then, a sudden stagecoach accident puts three strangers in her path who will change her life forever.In sickness and in health, neighbor Udell Hanna remains a trusted friend, pressing Sarah to marry. When he reveals a plan to grant her dearest wish, she is overwhelmed with passion and excitement. She soon discovers, however, that there is far more to a formal education than she bargained for.Behind the scenes, Sarah's old friend Maldonado has struck a deal with the very men who will become linchpins of the Mexican Revolution. Maldonado plots to coerce Sarah into a business partnership, but when she refuses, he devises a murderous plan to seize her land and build a railroad straight to Mexico. When Sarah's son Charlie unexpectedly returns from town with a new bride, the tension erupts into an all-out range war between the two families.Finally putting an end to Udell's constant kindnesses, Sarah describes herself as "an iron-boned woman." She wants more than to be merely a comfortable fill-in for his dead wife. It is only through a chance encounter that she discovers his true feelings, allowing her to finally believe that a selfless, enduring love has at last reached out to her.
