Books like These is my words by Nancy E. Turner
De hoofdpersoon, een jonge pioniersvrouw, legt in persoonlijke dagboekentry's het verloop van haar levenspad vast: van vertrek per huifkar uit het oostelijke gebied tot het innemen van een plaats in de ruige wildernis van Arizona. Gedurende twintig jaar wordt ze geconfronteerd met de uitdagingen van het Wilde Westen – harde omstandigheden, isolationisme en de dagelijkse strijd om te overleven. Haar verhalen geven een levendig venster op het leven van vrouwenpioniers in de late 19e eeuw, samen met de culturele en historische realiteiten van die periode.
