In 1911, Carrie Strahorn wrote a memoir entitled Fifteen
Thousand Miles by Stage, which shared some of the most
exciting events of 25 years of traveling and shaping the
American West with her husband, Robert Strahorn, a railroad
promoter, investor, and writer. That is all fact.
Everything She Didn't Say imagines Carrie nearly ten
years later as she decides to write down what was really on
her mind during those adventurous nomadic
years.
Certain that her husband will not read it, and
in fact that it will only be found after her death, Carrie
is finally willing to explore the lessons she learned along
the way, including the danger a woman faces of losing
herself within a relationship with a strong-willed man and
the courage it takes to accept her own God-given worth apart
from him. Carrie discovers that wealth doesn't insulate a
soul from pain and disappointment, family is essential,
pioneering is a challenge, and western landscapes are both
demanding and nourishing. Most of all, she discovers that
home can be found, even in a rootless life.
With a
deft hand, New York Times bestselling author Jane
Kirkpatrick draws out the emotions of living--the laughter
and pain, the love and loss--to give readers a window not
only into the past, but into their own conflicted hearts.
Based on a true story.
