My new motto: "if Sarah can do it, so can I!"

My darling friend introduced me to this WONDERFUL book! I just wanted to share it with you all! It's the first book in the "Sarah Series". It's about a hardworking, SPITFIRE girl named Sarah Agnes Prine (the author's Great-Grandmother) and it's her diary as she struggles on the Arizona frontier. It was filled with heartwarming moments and insights into the women of this time period! (Which has always been interesting to me!)

The beginning is kind of choppy English as she doesn't know how to read or write very well! It was a joy to journey with her through life lessons of love, sorrow and pure stubbornness! I laughed so hard and cried equally too! (which I DON'T normally do with a book!) She overcame some TREMENDOUS stuff!! I think that theres a little of Sarah that many of us can relate to today. Even Ben couln't help but ask, over my shoulder, what's Sarah was upto now! :D Truly, this book has touched my life in a way I can't explain! I appreciate the little things in life more! I see that there are things that I can work harder at. Just the amount of things that she was able to accomplish in a day, to me, is MIND BLOWING!

I hope you like it as much as I have! And if you've already read it and Loved it too- PLEASE share with me what you've learned from her! I find it interesting what different little bits of wisdom each person takes away with them...
