Book Description Review “Years ago, I loved These is my Words, and I adored stepping back into to the world of the Prines through tough-as-rawhide Mary Pearl. Light Changes Everything is a novel as gritty and authentic as the women of the Arizona Territory. Nancy E. Turner brings the west and its people fully to life.” ―Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours “Nancy E. Turner (of the wildly popular Sarah Agnes Prine series) returns with her signature warmth and an Aunt Sarah to boot. I dare you not to be charmed by this sweet tale of a woman finding her way at the dawn of a new century. Light Changes Everything illuminates the heart of an American family and highlights its historic glow.” ―Sarah McCoy, New York Times bestselling author of Marilla of Green Gables “I was captivated from the start by Mary Pearl’s independence and grit, and I loved the strong thread of family loyalty that knits together her far-flung adventures throughout the Arizona territory, up to Chicago for art school, and down to Mexico for revenge. I was thrilled by her moments of bravery and moved to tears by her losses. As I turned the last page, I felt I was saying goodbye to a real friend rather than closing the book on a fictional character, so vividly did Nancy Turner portray her remarkable heroine.” ―Kim van Alkemade, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan #8 and Bachelor Girl“The key characters of this lovely family saga are even more compelling than the story’s title. The real, regional voice pulls the reader right into an emotional read that is poignant and ultimately wise. Light Changes Everything is a story that stays with you for all the right reasons.” ―Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author “Mary Pearl Prine is a western original. Her spirit and pluckiness are infectious. Filled with Arizona Territory detail and language, Nancy E. Turner’s Light Changes Everything, the story of a young woman too self-confident to be beaten down by frontier challenges, promises to become a Wild West classic.” ―Sandra Dallas, New York Times bestselling author“Nancy E. Turner’s tale of an endearingly plucky young woman in the wild Arizona Territory in the early 1900’s is chock full of family feuds, intrigue, heartache, gumption, and adventure. Colorful, thoroughly enjoyable, and as fast-moving as a band of horses galloping across the desert, Light Changes Everything is a delight.” ―Kristin Harmel, international bestselling author of The Room on Rue Amélie“Turner’s satisfying, immersive, and often heart-pounding tale of one indomitable young woman’s frontier life, touched by tragedy and hope, is realistically drawn, and readers will warm to her portrayal of Mary Pearl’s chaotic but loving family life. Fans of the popular Sarah Agnes Prine novels and new readers alike will fall in love with the smart and spirited Mary Pearl.”―Publishers Weekly Read more About the Author NANCY E.

More please! As a desert dweller in the Southwest, I really enjoyed the description of how it was settled, the desert flora,animals, people and weather as well as the importance of the Butterfield Stage Have read the 1st 3 books in the series & all were very good to excellent. I plodded through the 1st 2 chapters in this, the 4th in the series, & had to put it down. My expectations for an author & series is that each fact, each book, builds the story as it unfolds in time. The SAME story. I expect the author to keep track of what came before: the plot, the facts, the context, the character development as they evolve in their timelines. I understand that the occasional typo or error is going to pop up which should have been caught by the editor & proof reader, but this is ridiculous. Sloppy context. Missing/changed plot/story/facts. Over and over. The voice of the narrator who is telling the story may as well be a new & never before seen character. What in the world is up with this? Where is the Author AND editor? Didn’t they take the time to reread the previous books or check the chronological order of things or the existing facts, connotations, & palette? To those who have NOT read the previous 3 books, this might be OK. But if you have read the 1st 3, this book is so sloppily done as to drive even the average reader batty. To the new reader, take a pass on this one as it really doesn’t fit, & there is nothing that the author can do to correct the damage wrought. But, buy & read the 1st 3 as they are quality historical fiction & very well written. The editor/publisher should be fired for this breach of trust with the readers. As the first books in the sequel. I believe there was too much recounting the past in this book, that was unnecessary, if you read the first books. It did have me doing some nail biting at parts and the characters were lovely. I also think that it wrapped up nicely, the entire series. I have liked every one of Nancy Turner’s books, starting with “These Is My Words”. I shared that w/my Dad years ago. He loved it, too, but sadly passed before being able to read more of her stories. Anyhoo, this is a fascinating and very readable story which made me, the reader, want to keep on reading until done, but sleep and life kept interrupting! So enjoyable! And admirable young heroine and family. People were much tougher back then. I think every generation loses some grit. Oh well. I highly recommend just for enjoyment. Hope there will be more. I encourage everyone to read all of Ms Turner’s books! As you begin reading, you are instantly aware that this book was written by someone who knows what they are doing. The words flow. The story keeps you going. Mary Pearl is a character that I wish I’d known personally, and I feel like I do. I don’t feel I could have lived back then, and faced the hardships that came to them. This story came alive to me. I didn’t want it to end! I couldn’t put These Is My Words down and none of the subsequent books have disappointed, this one included. It was so fun to see the family from a new perspective and I felt this book was a seamless conclusion to the family’s story. I had waited a long time for this book to be released in January, and having adored These is My Words, Sarah’s Quilt, and Star Garden I was eager to read more about the beloved Prine Women and Family. Needless to say this book did not disappoint! I just finished reading it and was torn over finishing the last pages because I didn’t want it to end. This book has excellent writing, description, plot, scenery, action, and drama, but most of all it has Duende…. spirit. I had been breathlessly awaiting a new title from Ms. Turner, and was thrilled with this one! The characters are well developed and realistic; the story builds as Mary Pearl matures, and the descriptions of life in the Arizona desert are stunning! I loved every page of this book and was sad when it ended. I’ve already read it twice! Loved this book! Love all of Ms. Turner’s work!
