booklistqueen 's review for:

Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan

4.0

funny hopeful lighthearted slow-paced

---

In the late 19th century, Anna lives on a farm telling her brother Caleb tales of their mother, who died in childbirth when he was born. When their father sents out an advertisement for a bride, he is answered by Sarah Elizabeth Wheaton of Maine. When Sarah comes to visit, Anna and Caleb immediately fall in love, and are desperate for her to stay. A sweet little tale, Sarah, Plain and Tall made the perfect audiobook for a road trip, coming in at only an hour long.
