Sarah, Plain and Tall

by Patricia MacLachlan

Book 1 of the Sarah, Plain and Tall series

Sarah arrives on the prairie to marry Jacob Witting and help care for his children after their mother's death. She brings memories of the Maine coast, practical strength, and a willingness to consider a life very different from the one she left. The family must decide whether a household built from grief can become a home again. Quiet and moving, this historical story suits a spring or prairie-weather read about adjustment, family, courage, and love growing through daily work.
