Can't remember which farmgirls recommended this book, but I got it from the Library and am loving it.
Thanks sooooo much
There is a third book in the series, too

I am also interested in what book you are discussing. It sounds as if you all find it very good. I always have a book going and would like to find all the good ones I can. Brenda

Shirley Jean and Brenda:
I cannot say enough about the book, "These Is My Words". Just wonderful. The BEST book I have ever, ever read. I have re-read the book and the two sequels three times. When I cannot find something good to read, I pick up the book and start reading. Y'all will just fall in love with the characters. Let us know if y'all read it and let us know what y'all think about the book/books.

Did you start reading "These Is My Words"? Just interested in knowing what you think about it so far? To me, it's the best book, and the sequels are just as good.

Marly, I bought 'These Is My Words'. I am about a 1/4 of the way through it and I like it very much! I'm getting ready to fix a cup of tea and sit on my porch and read some in a few minutes. I like the idea of reading her diary/journal and I like the way the story is revealed in the first person way. Thanks so much for mentioning this book here you all, I'm really enjoying it!

I'm over half way through this book and I love it! I read for a few hours last night while sitting on my back porch and watching the birds at our feeder and taking pics of them. I am definitely going to get the other books in the series when I'm finished.
