Sarah, Plain and Tall is a sweet story about a young girl and boy named Caleb and Anna, and their father Jacob. They lost their mother when Caleb was born and years later, Jacob puts an add in the newspaper for a wife. A woman named Sarah responds to the add and plans are made for her to come for a month to see if she would like to stay. The children are very excited to meet her, because she is from Maine and they hope she sings. When she arrives she brings seashells for them and tells them all about the sea. They get a little scared because they can tell she misses the sea and they dont want her to go home. They all teach Sarah things about running a farm and she in turn, shares stories about the sea and she sings. In the end, she decides to stay and marry Jacob.
I really liked this story because it was just so sweet and simple. Sarah is a really cool woman who can do almost anything, like mend a roof.
I would definitly recomend this book to everyone. I remember seeing the movie and i really liked it to.
i dont see and problems coming from this book.
