The fifth book in the series that began with the Newbery Medal-winning
Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan.
Jack leans back on Grandfather's shoulder. Aunt Mattie's knitting
needles click in the dark. The moon rises. The candle flickers in the
gentle prairie wind. I close my eyes to keep everything there.
Could anything be more perfect than a prairie wedding? Cassie Witting
doesn't think so, for her sister Anna's wedding brings two lovebirds
together, aunts from faraway Maine, a long white dress with a wedding
veil, dancing under a clear blue sky, and a world that smells of roses.
As the Witting family comes together for this most special day, Cassie
sees that life brings the change of seasons, brother Jack on
Grandfather's lap, joy, sorrow, and a special dance only Grandfather
does.
