I just came upon the Sarah Plain and Tall trilogy and was fascinated it by its quiet beauty, loyalty and dignity. To watch a family struggle to keep their way of life was so admirable. Jacob's innate love and connection to the land was both beauty and heartache, as it dwindled away by circumstances beyond his control. Sarah's love and beliefs in her husbands beliefs made her such a force, but ultimately he had to send her and their children to go to her family in order to ensure their safety. Neither gave up faith on each other or the land. It was a true test of love.
