This continues the story from Let the Little Birds Sing, and On a Lark introduces the characters of Jackson and Miles from a moonshine family in North Carolina. Of course, these parallel stories will come together at the end of Book 2. Book 3 in this series will, hopefully, come in 2020, and it will be set in Texas during the Civil War. This series was inspired by a young girl coming to Central Texas on a wagon train, a girl whose story spoke to me.(less)
