"Sarah, Plain and Tall" is narrated by Anna, a young girl whose widowed father sends for a mail-order bride from Maine. Sarah, the perspective bride, adds a breath of fresh air to the life of Anna, her younger brother Caleb, and their reticent father, Jacob. But will Sarah's homesickness for her family and the sea cause her to leave before the wedding?
Told in spare but moving language, this book tells about the forming of a family in a simplistic but moving way.
