SynopsisSarah, Plain and Tall began the Witting family's saga on the prairie. The story completes its circle with Grandfather's Dance, now in paperback, Patricia MacLachlan's poetic celebration about the enduring spirit of family. To fourth grader Cassie Witting, nothing could be more perfect than the entire family coming together for her sister Anna's wedding--even though in Cassie's ideal wedding, the groom is a black and white dog with a feathered tail. The special day brings two lovebirds together, aunts from faraway Maine, a long white dress with a wedding veil, and a special dance that only Grandfather does. But as Cassie begins to understand different kinds of love, be it between Anna and Justin or her brother Jack and Grandfather, she learns that sometimes the hardest part about loving someone is having to say goodbye.
