Everything She Didn't Say Jane Kirkpatrick Books

Carrie (Adell) Strahorn, with a degree from U. Michigan and voice studies in the US and Europe, altered her lifestyle radically and headed to the western frontier for a fascinating journey in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author Jane Kirkpatrick shares her gift for bringing an authentic history to life while illuminating the discordant social and emotional motives of men and women. While Carrie supports her husband’s livelihood to write promotional guidebooks to lure potential settlers with narrative and statistics of economic and agricultural opportunities, Carrie sacrifices much as she struggles internally—she had her disappointments. Yet outwardly Carrie leaves a written legacy of adventure and the grandeur of the wilderness she traveled and the settlements she helped to build and prosper.

Everything She Didn't Say Jane Kirkpatrick Books Reviews

My experience with Jane Kirkpatrick has been similar for each book I’ve read of hers appreciation for the historical research, but boredom with the overall storyline. As I mentioned in my review of The Road We Traveled, “there were parts of the book where I went “Hmm, this is interesting,” and then there were more parts where I wondered when the book would be over.” I really don’t understand how a book could be so carefully researched, yet falter in terms of pace and holding the reader’s attention entirely. Or perhaps I simply really don’t like books that just meander through someone’s life (as I’ve also mentioned in my previous Kirkpatrick reviews).

The format of the book was very confusing to me. Obviously, the excerpts at the end of each chapter are from Carrie Strahorn’s actual memoir, Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage. Yet, there are also journal entries at the beginning of each chapter—are these Carrie’s actual journals, or things made up by Kirkpatrick so the reader knows what year it is? I also had issues with what I must assume are severe creative liberties on the part of Kirkpatrick—she is filling in the gaps only with what she thinks is true, based off of the few things we have about Carrie. And I get that this is historical fiction, not biography, but the picture built of Carrie, of this strong woman who managed to hold her own and carve her own path despite her husband’s domineering nature, is a fictionalized picture. Were any of the thoughts and feelings in this book part of the real Carrie Strahorn? I guess I wouldn’t mind so much if I didn’t think so highly of context and accuracy.

Everything We Didn’t Say is a good look at a woman I knew nothing about, who helped pave the way in the West along with her husband, Robert Strahorn. This Carrie is a good model, and there are many points in this book ripe for discussion, but I left the book without a solid idea of what the true Carrie was really like. In true Kirkpatrick style, the research was great, the actual grip and hook of the book…not so much. I would enjoy her so much more if she was just a little more exciting as a writer, though I suppose that’s the draw—she documents more aspects of someone’s life than simply the “exciting” parts. I just wish, in this case, there was more of a clear idea that she was actually crafting a true representation.

Jane Kirkpatrick never disappoints.
This is written about a pioneering woman during the ending of the Wild West Don't be expecting like a huge climax but do expect a tender honest story that is much like our own, enjoyable
Just finished and as always, Jane just gets it! She always knows how to keep your attention wanting you to get right back to reading as soon as you can. The only let down is finishing the book. LOL
I think that making alive a remarkable woman of the past is a very good idea. Using the facts of her life and adding the probable feelings and thoughts she would have had make her a real person., and a very interesting one. Through her we can know a little more of The Wild West and the pioneering women who conquered it. Really good!
Another amazing Jane Kirkpatrick. I was privileged to be at Auntie's book store in Spokane when Jane present her story of Carrie Strahorn, a important Spokane person, who is little known unless you have seen her cemetery plot. Her husband was a prominent railroad promoter in the northwest, especially with Union Pacific. Her memoirs and another book Amazing Strahorns by Chester John Casey, flesh out my knowledge of a women who followed her mate, but dreamed always of a different life
I have read most of Jane Kirkpatrick 's novels and have really enjoyed them. She is able to take facts about her subjects and weave them into a great story. This book is a little different, as it is a memoir within a memoir. Her central character here is Carrie Adell Strahorn, someone I was not aware of, but who was quite accomplished in her time. I recommend this for anyone who likes historical fiction and/or stories about women who are integral in the settling of our country.
