Cover synopsis: The adventure of one courageous woman's life and struggles in the Arizona Territories in the last ninetheenth century.
This is a fairly substantial book, but once I started it I couldn't put it down. I was deeply moved by what I read. It's written in a diary format, by Sarah Prine. It begins when she's a 17-year-old girl details the adventures that molded her into the strong, driven and loving woman she is.
Her story is full of tragedy and triumph, sadness and joy. I can't imagine going through half the things she has -- and with the humor and wit she carries off. And her relationship with cavalry officer Captian Jack Elliot is stuff of legend. Enough said.
