Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan
5.0
Just reading the synopsis I knew I would love this. It's really a gem, and it breezes right by. Yes, I'm frequently into sentimental kid stuff. I loved Anne of Green Gables and Jacob Have I Loved, and this was right along those lines.
What I didn't know was that our titular Sarah, in addition to agreeing to be a mail order bride for a widowed farmer, was kind of a weird artist and kind of a tomboy who considers chickens house pets, and insists on wearing overalls to help her man fix the roof. And that made me love her even more, knowing she was a woman after my own heart.
Perfect airplane reading.
