Tall & Plain, She Says She Is

It has been by accident that these last two books (today's & this book from two days ago) have had plots directly related to someone passing away. I picked today's selection because I felt that the pace of the story had much in common with the same smooth calmness of a day like today: a Sunday.

The other books I've posted on I've reminisced on based solely on memory (& a tiny bit of Wikipedia/Amazon summarized assistance 😊😎). This book, however, I found myself electing to completely re-read; I'm so glad I did.

Such memories of those younger, much more simple years of life. Back when responsibilities are of a different nature, & all that truly is important as an adult leaves one wondering why the young & youthful are overwhelmed & unsettled with what they have.

I comment often to those around me that I'd wish to return to the days of having homework to complete over being held accountable for the many duties that adulthood brings. I suppose I long for the days of being "Plain & Tall". Plain, as in simple; tall, as in stretching oneself. In other words, the youthfulness of a growth spurt.

I'm quite certain that I've never read MacLachlan's other books; those which have stories following this book. Though, in a quest to return to those easy-going days of ol' again - as I did today, even if only by turning pages, I'd think to turn the pages of this book (Book 2), this book (Book 3), this book (Book 4), & this book (Book 5). And then I might know more of the story that is Papa, Anna, Caleb, & Sarah's story.
