Sarah, Plain and Tall

MacLachlan, P.  (1985).  Sarah, plain and tall.  New York:  Harper Collins.

How would you like to order a new Mom through the mail?  Anna, Caleb and their Papa do just that.    After losing their wife and mother, Papa decides to order a bride through the mail.  After all, one of the neighbors did it.  What if they don't like her?  What if she doesn't like them?  What if she can't sing?  It's always a good idea to try out something new before you decide though.  This story is set in the 19th century in the Midwest.  It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie.  Great book dealing with relationships, family, and giving new things a chance!!
