These Is My Words



This was the selection for April's meeting. It seemed to be universally enjoyed and appreciated (Though that could have just been us moaning over the deliciousness of Dee's cookies and lemonade. Mmmmm....cookies.)

"These Is My Words" is a story about a young woman in the Arizona Territories in the late 1800s. It's written in diary form and is actually based on some of the diaries of author Nancy Turner's great Grandmother.

We broads are from all over the U.S. (with a token Irishwoman) and we all thoroughly enjoyed this story of wagon trains, homesteading, building up a city, and a woman's life in general.
