My Favorite Book of All Time
I have read this book twice for two different book clubs and recommended it for several others. In 1957, Elithe Kirkland, a history writer, takes a diary found in an attic and novelizes it. This is an amazing true story of a pioneering woman in early Texas, her loves, her life and her courage. It reads like it was written yesterday. My favorite book of all time.

A vital picture of Texas and American southwest history .
Well done and extremely well researched by a master of southwest story telling. Almost as good as "Love is a Wild Assault" by the same author,Elithe Hamilton Kirkland.
