Sarah: Not Boring at All!

For years I have looked at the book Sarah, Plain and Tall and imagined that it was all kinds of dull and boring.  The cover is awful.  All of the covers are.  Wow.  They just scream dull and boring- if dull and boring can be screamed.  But man, it really wasn't.  It was just a sweet little story about a dad and his two kids and their lonelines following the death of their mother/wife.  Dad sends for a mail-order-bride and it is Sarah, from Maine, who is plain and tall.  And not a ton of things happen, but there is love and hope and yeah, it is just a good little story.
