The beloved sequel to the classic novel These Is My Words and its remarkable heroine
Sarah's Quilt, the long-awaited sequel to These Is My Words, continues the dramatic story of Sarah Agnes Prine. Beloved by readers and book clubs from coast to coast, These Is My Words told the spellbinding story of an extraordinary pioneer woman and her struggle to make a home in the Arizona Territories. Now Sarah returns.
In 1906, the badlands of the Southern Arizona Territory are a desolate place where a three-year drought has changed the landscape forever. When Sarah's well goes dry and months pass with barely a trace of rain, she feels herself losing her hold upon the land. Desperate, Sarah's mother hires a water witch--a peculiar desert wanderer named Lazrus who claims to know where to find water. As he schemes and stalls, he develops a frightening infatuation with Sarah.
Just when it seems life couldn't get worse, Sarah learns that her brother and his family have been trapped in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. She and her father-in-law face unimaginable devastation as they embark on a dangerous rescue mission to the stricken city.
Sarah is a pioneer of the truest spirit, fighting courageously to save her family's home while longing for the passion she once knew. Though a wealthy neighbor has asked her to wed, Sarah doesn't entirely trust him--and then Udell Hanna and his son come riding down the dusty road.
