Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Star Garden (Sarah Agnes Prine #3)
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, and nearing bankruptcy after surviving drought, storms, and the rustling of her cattle, Sarah remains a stalwart pillar to her extended family. Then a stagecoach accident puts in her path three strangers who will change her life.
In sickness and in health, neighbor Udell Hanna remains a trusted friend, pressing for Sarah to marry. When he reveals a plan to grant Sarah her dearest wish, she is overwhelmed with passion and excitement. She soon discovers, however, that there is 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 partnership, but when she refuses, he devises a murderous plan to gain her land for building a railroad straight to Mexico. When Sarah's son Charlie unexpectedly returns from town with a new bride, the plot turns 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, and only then can she believe that a selfless love has at last reached out to her. . . .

I start with summarizing: This story would have been much better if the characters (at least main) were new.I think (especially after reading some other reviews) that many readers don't agree with me but I had enough of Sarah. I still can't believe it but it is the truth. She was so strong personality in previous books, but although in some aspects here she was strong too, her "I will marry Udell, I'll not, I'll, I'll not..." was very very annoying. To me, it didn't fix with her personality. ItThis last book of the trilogy lost a star from the first two. It was more of the same. Every tragic thing that could happen to Sarah and her family happens. One day all will be sunshine and happiness and the next minute it turns to tragedy. I don't know how she managed to keep her sanity. Recommend the series, beginning with 'These is My Words', but be prepared for a bumpy read. These are not books that are a speed read. You will learn a lot about the times in which Sarah lived. It is worth the
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
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 more realistic,
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. Chess...really?! But so glad Gilbert didn't die! I also grew tired of her on and off feelings for
"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
This book by Nancy E. Turner is the third in the series that started with These Is My Words. This one is almost as good as the first, and both are real page-turners. Sarah Agnes Prine could have been my own great-great-grandmothers, who lived and loved and died in the same part of Southern Arizona. I felt like I was reading my own family history. Sarah lives outside of Tucson. Someone killed and rustled all her cattle, and she is struggling to take care of her family. A widow, Sarah is out
