Can one wrong turn put Lark's life on the right pathway?
Lark Wenghold hates Kansas, gets queasy around small humans, and has vehemently declared she has no intention to marry. Ever. However, to honor her papa’s dictum that the Wengholds never go back on their word, she consents to travel to Kansas to be present at the birth of her sister’s first child.
Her obligatory adventure begins when she hurriedly boards the train to Kansas, hoping to thwart Albert Harvey’s uninvited company. On the wrong train, going the wrong direction, and with a family of six children as seatmates, Lark is forced to face challenges that heretofore were her worst nightmares. Within a few short days of arrival in Cedar Bluff, Kansas, Lark's ordered world begins spinning out of control.
While in a dark cellar of fear and despair, will Lark finally accept that God's plans are better than hers?

Another homerun. I loved Lark as much as I loved Robin. There are two love triangles in this one, plus, all kinds of misdirection and mystery. This book is so charming and has not a hint of smut. You can let your daughters read this series. I can hardly wait to read the third book, Wren.

October 20, 2016I read the first book of this series, Robin, then ordered Lark, the 2nd (on kindle) and kept reading. The story line flowed and kept my interest all the way through both. I wanted my husband to approve my purchase of the 3rd book, Wren, so I read Robin and Lark aloud to him. I'm not sure which of us liked them more! Julane is an exceptional story-teller and writer. She creates real-to-life characters. Can't wait to start reading Wren, but unfortunately I need to sleep tonight.

My thoughts:
Lark is the second book in the Brides of a Feather series. You can find my review of Robin on my blog also. You don't have to read them in order, but things will make much more sense if you do. I recommend reading all of this book series of course because it's wonderful!!
I loved reading Robin so I knew I was going to love Lark as well(and I'm dying to read Wren). The author has a great way with words that makes you feel like you're actually there. That Lark is real and you feel you know her and her struggles become your own. It's a gift and makes reading so much more enjoyable.
Lark doesn't want to go out to Kansas to stay with her sister. She doesn't like Kansas. She definitely doesn't know anything about babies and yet that's why she's going. Robin is expecting and requested Lark to come. Lark would much rather stay and teach at the girls school she works at. She loves the safety and security of her piano and the school.
Instead, Lark goes to Kansas. Well maybe. Eventually. Instead of getting on the train for Kansas she gets on a train bound for Omaha on accident as she's intent on avoiding a suitor. On the train to Omaha she finds herself helping with six children and, gasp, using her unmentionables to clean up a soiled diaper as well as sick children. Not what she envisioned for herself and definitely something she'd never done before! She also becomes friends with the mother of the children who insists she stay with her until they can find out how to get Lark to Kansas as planned.
Unfortunately, things take another unexpected turn when they learn that Lark's new found friend has lost her husband in a barn fire. Her husband's boss is now going to send her to live with Lark at her uncle's as said Uncle John is a friend of his from the war when he saved John's life. Wow. I couldn't have made that up if I tried.
Once we get to Kansas Lark finds she does like her suitor(Albert) but he can't seem to decide if he still wants to pursue her or pursue the recently widowed mother of six instead. And that's just the beginning of all the twists and turns!
Next thing you know Lark's professor from the school she taught at shows up determined to make her his wife through whatever means necessary. Will he succeed? Why are the six children scared of him? Will Albert figure out which woman he loves? Will Lark survive? Oh yes, there is suspense, and romance too of course. Plus we say hi to Robin again and she does have her baby.
Great read! Make sure to get your copy today! And don't forget about Robin and Wren coming soon!

If you liked Julane Hiebert's, Robin, you will love this next installment of the Wenghold sisters. Lark 's dull life is about to get very exciting beginning with boarding the wrong train heading to the wrong destination. In her adventures Lark will meet special people who teach her things about herself she never knew. Can Lark's heart ever open enough to love a man? And if so, who will she choose? Ms. Hiebert has crafted a beautiful story of learning to trust God in every situation, and receiving His many blessings and mercies in ways we never thought possible. Lark is a story of hope, of not giving up and discovering the value of lessons we never wanted to learn. The characters with all their unique quirks and idiosyncrasies will have you laughing, crying, then laughing again, in this entertaining yet meaningful story of love, relationships and faith. This one is a can't miss for your TBR list. I am so looking forward to the future release of Wren.

So fun to read about John Wenghold and his three granddaughters (excited for Wren!)
This book kept me interested and guessing. Loved how I experienced the emotions brought on by the characters!
