Sarah, Plain and Tall: Winter's End is the third of three television films based on the trilogy of children's books by Patricia MacLachlan. The first was Sarah, Plain and Tall and its sequel was Skylark. Though they do not share a title, the events in the film Winter's End are taken from MacLachlan's book Caleb's Story, though in order to appeal to a more adult audience than the children's books the events are expanded and the tone made slightly more serious. The movie premiered in 1999 and is part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame collection of movies.
Sarah and Jacob Witting are on their farm with their family. Jacob's estranged father John reappears one winter, wanting to make amends with his son.
