The narration was so much better than ‘Theseus My Words’

I really enjoyed this book and learned a bit about like out on the prairie in 1906.

5 stars all around!

I loved the first book These is My Words and I was excited to find out there were two more books in the series. This second one was just as good and now on to the third. I love historic and western dramas so this book was perfect. Great narrator as well!

Really well written

I need more than 4 of this series to read. I really got involved with the characters. I have not enjoyed a historical book this much in a while.

Could not put it down.

Why??? Because it is a believably realistic and compelling story. As the grand daughter of Arizona pioneers Sarah's life is completely relatable . The narration was so well done, it added to the characters description.

Great narration!

I love all the books in the series. The narration of this book seamed far more like how Sarah would have actually sounded.

Not as good as the first but still very likeable

I love this book series. I do feel like the main character changed in ways that didn't make sense from the first (small example: she refers to her mom as "mama" in the first book, but calls her "granny" in the second), but it was still a really good book. The first one had more happy events, and this one seemed to just be all challenged. That can be exhausting to listen to. Some of it was just odd, too. The whole water witch storyline? Bizarre. Some of it just stretched out too long, and other things were just glossed over, too.

Also, changing the narrator for each book is not my favorite thing. I feel like she did a great job with different voices for different characters, but there were many times she mispronounced words, especially Hispanic names. Sarah's character is supposed to be very familiar with her Mexican neighbors and Hispanic culture, but the narrator mispronounced Luz and Esperanza. It wasn't just those name either. What is a "buoy" knife? Clearly, she meant bowie. I'm sad to already see that book 3 changes narrators again, too. I still recommend this book and look forward to the third one.

The way she speaks of her grownup sons.

I wish they hadn't change the reader, the voice was so different. I had to remember that it was still Sarah telling the story.

Sarah’s Quilt

Sarah’s quilt is the second book in the Sarah Agnes Prime series. This second book was as entertaining and exciting as the first and I can’t wait to listen to the third book.

Fabulous book series.

This story was a wonderful one. Loved the whole series and was very impressed. Only thing I wish is that the same reader would have read all 3 books.

love the story and the reader

Wow! This story was full of hardship, but it was captivating and a great read. It was a good continuation of the Sarah Prine story, showing how a hard working woman could get through so much with determination, faith, family, and a will to move forward.
