Product Description

Sarah Witting doesn't love the prairie. She tries, but she can't help remembering what she knew first, her home in Maine. Earlier, Sarah came to the prairie from Maine to marry widower Jacob Witting, to help him on his farm and with his young children. But now it's summer, and a drought has turned the land dry and brown. Fires sweep across the fields and coyotes visit the family's well in search of water. So Papa sends Sarah, Anna, and Caleb back east, where they will be safe. Papa stays behind to care for his land. Though Maine is beautiful, Anna misses home, and Papa. And as the weeks go by, she begins to wonder what would happen if the rains never come. Will she and Caleb and Sara and Papa ever be a family again? A touching sequel to Sarah, Plain and Tall. 64 pages, softcover. Ages 6-10.
