	VHS : Sarah, Plain and Tall: Winter's End (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Reconciliation comes hard, punctuated by cliffhanger disasters (Jacob breaks his leg and burns with a fever, Sarah almost dies in a heavy snowstorm), but this most brutal of trial periods for the Wittings still invites a viewer to yearn for a more innocent--perhaps mythical--time in America.
		A worthy and rewarding finish to a trilogy fit for families yet sophisticated enough for all ages, Winter's End may be one of the last network television classics in an era of audience relocation to multichannel cable.
		Sarah Plain and Tall, the book, is beautifully written.

		Skylark (Sarah, Plain and Tall) by Patricia MacLachlan
		The fact that Sarah does not immediately marry their father does throw this interpretation into a little confusion, but it's far easier to believe that Sarah "does things her way" and wants to wait a little while before marrying someone she doesn't know, rather than believe she would have any real choice in the matter.
		Sarah replies, and she decides to come live with them for a month to see if she likes it at their house.
