Not as great as the first one but I still couldn't put it down. It dragged in parts but overall thumbs up. ( )

Sarah seemed like a totally different character from the person she was in the first book. She is suddenly indecisive and dithering. The woman who was so well-read she knew Greek Mythology despite a lacking a formal education doesn't know what an earthquake is? What? There were some storylines that I wish the author had followed more - a trip to Chicago would have been interesting. It was hinted at but never happened. The character of Lazarus never made much sense. I kept thinking she was going somewhere surprizing or interesting with him. I enjoyed the first book, but this one was just "meh" for me. At least this audiobook had a MUCH better reader than that used for _These Is My Words_. ( )

I was much afraid this book would not be able to live up to its predecessor, These is My Words. For one thing, I knew it would be missing one of its most dynamic characters and how could it have that same impact. It would be set in a later period as well, and that seemed to me to invite a less stirring tale. Ah, I have underestimated this terrific writer, for she wove this story and took me right back into Sarah’s world.

I love books like these that feel authentic to their times, that weave an adventure you would never want to live but enjoy participating in from afar. What a hard life our ancestors lead settling this country. It would have required a lot of courage, not to mention the perseverance to keep starting over disaster after disaster, loss after loss. I hardly came up for air while reading it and now I’m quite anxious to get to the third book in the series.

Another thank you to Lori for introducing me to this series of books. Great fun and totally memorable.

This is the continuing saga of Sarah Prine. I liked the first book so much, I couldn't resist this and the third in the series, once I learned they existed.

Ah, another page turner that leaves the reader wanting more. Sarah's family grows larger and more complicated. The artistry of these books is in the details, flowing along so naturally I felt like I was there, sitting on the porch and in the middle of the heart-stopping moments. The story is full of adventure, adversity, good and bad people, terror, joy, warmth, personalities, and more. It's a window into our past and how our country was built, and what it took to build it on a personal level.

I've already purchased a set of these books for a gift, before reading the last in the series. They're that good. ( )

Well it was an enjoyable read but not very believable
It seemed that everything that can go wrong did and even things that you do not expect,did. It started to get annoying after a while.
Then there were stories she started or people I liked and she spoke about to then abandon that story and that person and then quickly killed her off.

Those were the negatives but I still enjoyed reading this and I even read during the day. This book is a 3.5 stars book imo. ( )
