Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan
3.0

This was a short and sweet book. This is one of three books I am looking at in the context of gender and gender roles and since I am looking at this books with that context it has shaped my rating slightly. The children have lost their mother and father has lost his wife. He puts an ad in the paper in hopes of finding someone to fill these roles and fill these voids. Why is though we feel they should and need to be filled?
