What this book is about
The sequel to Sarah, Plain and Tall. A terrible drought parches the prairie and kills the family's crops. Sarah takes Anna and Caleb to her home in Maine while Jacob tries to save the farm. The children worry whether Sarah — who came from Maine — will want to return to them. MacLachlan's equally slim and lyrical sequel is about the grief of displacement and the question of home.
