Does anyone know what year this book is in? Not the year it was published, the year the story takes place? Thanks~

My guess is late 1920's to 1930's. During Caleb's Story, one of the world wars has just started, and I think it's World War 2, but I can't find my proof.

Sarah, Plain and Tall takes place in the early 1900's. Caleb's Song takes place during WWI, not WWII.

HTH!

The author was born in 1938 and draws her book from a story she heard as a child about a woman who actually left her home back east to become the wife of a farmer on the prairie. So, I'm guessing the events took place before she was born. ;)

Hope this helps.
