A Military Wife Must-Read!
When These is my Words was first recommended to me from a friend, I assumed I was in for a Flowers for Algernon type narrative. The shameless butchering of the English language from the title and first chapter aside, I was pleasantly surprised to find the honest account of a pioneer woman.
Once you get past the first few pages, the narrator's writing - diary style - improves drastically and is less distracting and more endearing.
I was even more surprised to find just how relatable Sarah was as a protagonist. The incredible hardships she faces are astonishing, yet she rises above it all with a cool head and a steady trigger-finger.
As a military wife, I am recommending this to all my friends. Sarah is a reluctant heroine and the epitome of a strong woman. You'll stay up late and get up early to finish this one!
