Deadly Diversion
Lies. Secrets. And a chance to start over.
While running from her past, Cora Buchanan becomes stranded in a small Georgia town and seeks refuge at the Southern Hope Ranch. There she finds herself in the middle of an abductor-turned-killer's game.
Rancher Rex O'Reilly, the rugged widower who only wants to protect his daughter from another loss, has no room in his life for a woman with secrets. But when danger comes, he must embrace Cora’s presence at the ranch and accept her help in keeping his family—and her—safe.
Cora couldn’t have predicted that being stranded would set in motion a series of life-changing events not only for her but for everyone she meets, nor could she have known she held the key to finding a serial killer.

Cora Buchanan had been deserted by her husband, Clark--or perhaps he was dead. She didn't know which. She hadn't heard from him since the day he disappeared a year ago. She'd spent the year living with his parents, a kind-hearted couple who took her to their hearts.
She made the decision to go back to her own parents with some reluctance. They didn't approve of her--nothing she did pleased them--but perhaps it was time to mend the fences.
She could have asked them for money. She couldn't ask her in-laws, they didn't have enough to spare. But she didn't want to admit to her own parents she didn't have enough, so she packed her things in her old car and headed south toward Florida.
Missing a vital freeway turn, she accidentally drives into a small town, and her car dies conveniently just in front of a service station. It takes all her money to get the car fixed, so she goes to work for a friendly bed-and-breakfast/cafe owner.
There she meets Rex, and her life begins to get interesting. Rex's parents drop in to see her, too. They want her to come to work for them as a nanny for their granddaughter. Since Cora's car won't be fixed for some time and she needs the extra money, she agrees.
Rex is grumpy. His brother Matt is a Lothario. His sister Clarice likes the wild side and wants to drag Cora with her. Cora would like to leave, but then there's Susie, the sweet little three-year-old who needs a positive influence since her father, Rex, refuses to be one.
Add to that mix a serial killer who kidnaps Cora, and you have a sure recipe for trouble with a capital "T."

Set in the southern states of North Carolina, Florida and Georgia, Song of the Meadowlark is a wonderful story of learning to seek and follow God’s guidance and purpose in life.
Cora’s willful attitude and decisions cause a breach in relationship with her parents, but she knows she should try to make amends. Is she ready to take that step? Her decision to head home for Florida is foiled by one roadblock after another. Is God trying to tell her something or is there evil in her pathway?
A serial killer is targeting young women in the Southern Hope Ranch area. His success makes mature minds cautious, but some give little attention to safety concerns and pay the ultimate price.
Rex is a forlorn and dark spirit since the death of his wife. When the responsibilities of fatherhood in addition to running the ranch with its accompanying business enterprises seem to overwhelm him, will he seek God’s guidance?
I love the way that the author slowly builds the story and relationships between the characters. It seems much more natural and less contrived than in some romances. The secondary characters are well-developed and add much depth to the storyline.
If you enjoy faith-based romances with mystery and suspense thrown in, you will enjoy this novel.

This book presented life in an honest and transparent manner. The author takes the issues that surround many relationships and delves into them unabashedly. Realizing cultural norms as well as human fraility, Sherri Wilson Johnson also allows the spirituality of her characters to develop also.
The emotions of the people in this book are realistic and relate well with the reader. A love story and a crime scene melt into a good read.

A wonderful mix of drama, suspense, romance, and simple every day life. Sherri Johnson has created characters that pulled me into their thoughts and lives. I look forward to reading more of her work.

Beginning in Lake Murray, South Carolina, we meet twenty-five-year-old Cora Buchanan who has finally decided to move on with the next stage in her life after her husband's disappearance. The adventure really starts when she faces car trouble in Lewiston, Georgia en route to her parents home in Florida. Through a set of random events that could only be orchestrated by God, Cora finds herself employed as a nanny for a sweet little girl named Susie who's father, Rex O'Reilly, is a busy rancher.
Rex, a handsome widower, appears tough and unruly, giving Cora cause to keep her distance, but are things really as they seem with him? After several suspenseful surprises and a lot of genuine conversation, Cora may have to reevaluate her first impressions of Rex.
This lovely story has strong themes of the beauty and purpose of purity, the breaking down of pride, and a great picture of what true growth in the Lord can look like. The characters are honest and real, having flaws as we all do, but overcoming the difficulties by turning to the Lord. This is a must-read if you enjoy great descriptive language as well as true and honest characters.

Cora Buchanan leaves Lake Murray, South Carolina a year after her husband walks out and never returned. Cora plans to go to Florida to make amends with her estranged parents who disapproved of her marriage three years ago. She never reaches Florida because of car trouble and loving grandparents who hire her to watch after Suzie, their granddaughter. Suzie’s daddy, a widower, runs the family ranch, giving almost no time to his daughter. Once at the ranch Cora bonds with Suzie but Rex either avoids Cora or speaks harshly around her. Both Cora and Rex carry baggage from their former lives, which they choose not to reveal to one another. An attraction develops but neither will admit it and, after all, Cora is still a married woman. Sherri Johnson describes her settings and the reader feels as if she is there in the moment. All the characters but one is strong and memorable, and the reader won’t know until the last pages which is the bad guy.

Having read and loved To Dance Once More, I was sort of expecting another historical. Of course, if I had read the back cover I would have realized it wasn't. Shame on me. However, after I got over my initial shock, I enjoyed this story a great deal. What's not to love about a rugged cowboy and his young daughter? Song of the Meadowlark was a well-written, wonderful story of second chance love. I read it in ONE day and only stopped long enough to feed my hungry crew.

Excellent book. It kept me entertained from the very first page and kept me guessing as to who the bad guy was the whole way and had me totally fooled (which is not easily done I might add). I love the way the author uses Cora's trust in God in view of the many many hardships she has had in her life and the people who have let her down. The scriptures the author uses are heartfelt and it was a very good read. I will be looking forward to reading more of her books. Thank you Sherri for allowing me to read this one for free!

A truly delightful story with well-drawn characters realistic conflicts, enough detail to keep the reader interested, but nothing gross or immoral.
Cora needed a new life since her drug-dealer husband disappeared a year ago. She set out for Florida, her parents' home, but only got as far as Georgia where her new life began because of Ms. Lottie and Rex O'Reilly, a handsome, but stubborn, rancher who had lost his wife.

Song of the Meadowlark is a good inspirational Romance with lots of suspense.

It's story of second chances that shows, even with great troubles that cause you to stray, The Lord is there to pull you back into his fold.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next in the series.

Rex isn't the kind of guy you should want a relationship with. He is running around with Veronica who clearly isn't any good. And she does get jealous. But fair enough if he goes on a trip with his daughter and the nanny, and yet ends up kissing the nanny. He has the nerve to tell Veronica that
there was nothing to worry about and then later they weren't actually a real couple. So I can understand her losing her cool, even if she does say some hurtful things.
Later, he is giving Cora the silent treatment after she has to leave to tie down some loose ends, like the will of her husband, (by the way does life insurance actually pay up, if you die, an escaped drug dealer in a shootout with police?) and fixing her relationship with her parents. Oh, surprise, she is actually a child of an affair, and thats why she never connected well with her mother and her dad treated her harshly to make his wife like his daughter more.
And poor Clarice was proving too difficult so we had to kill her off, just before the rescuers arrived. But don't worry, she was a christian before she went off the tracks so she'll be fine. Also great news, her best friend Mindy survived, except thats the last we hear of her, so thats good right?
I found reading this, was like a trip to the dentist and having a tooth pulled.

On her way home her car breaks down in a small Georgia town. Through a series of divine opportunities, she takes a temporary position as a nanny at the Southern Hope Ranch.
Rancher Rex O'Reilly, a handsome widower whose pain and grief have distanced him from his little girl, wants nothing to do with Cora.
But when a serial killer comes too close to the ranch—and Cora—Rex must accept the growing feelings he has for his daughter’s nanny.

4.5
The characters show a lot of growth throughout the entire book. I think this made their stories more believable. There were a few moments of epiphany but the changes were mostly gradual. I enjoyed this very much. Not everyone in the book has a happy ending, though. Strangely, this made the characters seem more real.
I thought the book was just a bit too long. There were a lot of characters and a lot of details about their lives. I thought we could have had less of this and more information about the crimes and victims. The book was more character driven than plot driven with a lot going on inside so the factual details of crimes were less important to the author. As a reader, I would have liked more time spent on these facts.

Cora being deserted by her husband, he just left, was he even alive. Without money she was heading toward home, a mishap, then calling her parents, it was on their terms. She decided to take up the offer of being a nanny to a 5 year old, on a ranch. Rex, losing his wife, was not stepping up as a father to his little girl. This was a story of grief, finding their way back to life, could they help one another. A nice plot of second chances, and a family that wanted them and love.

Cute love story
I enjoyed this book. Cora seemed kind of bratty at times, but I guess I might act the same way in those circumstances. This story just shows that with God’s help, anything is possible, including finding true love. I can’t wait to find the next book!

Murphy’s Law Applies To This Novel (3 Stars)
Song of the Meadowlark by Sherri Wilson Johnson
This is the story of Cora Buchanan, who is living with her in-laws because her husband has been missing for a year. She is having relationship problems with her parents who live in Panama City Beach, FL. She’s always had trouble meeting their standards, but when she married against their will, her relationship was very strained. She decides it’s time to go back home and see if she can patch up her relationship with her parents, only to have her old car breakdown in a little town in Georgia. She’s stuck, car repairs will take at least a week, she doesn’t have enough money to pay for it, but she did find a wonderful B&B and the dear woman said she could work there helping her with meals and cleaning to cover her room.
Does it look like everything that can go wrong has gone wrong? Well, you’ve heard nothing yet! Yes she does meet a man, but her troubles are not over yet. Poor Cora! Just about everything that can happen to a girl, happens to her. But, thankfully God is in control, not “Murphy’s Law”. If you want to read all her ups and downs and back ups...you’ll have to get the book. I don’t want to spoil anything for you. There are lots of surprises in this novel. Some you don’t see coming!

I had never read any books by Sherri Wilson Johnson and I was very pleased with this one.
When she advertised it was a clean romance for Christians, I thought, hmm, let's see. It would be nice to read a book like that. I was very happy with this book.
This book follows the life of a young adult lady, Cora, who followed her heart and was blinded by her husband. That man deceived her and left her. As a Christian she wanted to remain faithful to him. After her husband's disappearance - the first plot twist - she waited for his return while living with her in-laws. They were a great support to her. Eventually time went by and she had to return to some sort of normalcy. When she decided to begin her life again, she encountered people in her travels and had to make it on her own for the first time as an adult. A threat to her safety and the care and comfort of new people in her life help her as she grows stronger in her faith.
Cora is determined in following God through each twist of her early adult years in this book. She is faced with many challenges, changes, and reality twists, but she is determined to live her life as a believer in Jesus allowing Him to carry her through and, sometimes, to heal her mental pain. Romance, kidnap, and family misunderstandings occur as they do for people in real life. In this book, we find hope in the midst of trials and can learn from Cora's life. Just as Jesus did not lead an easy life, His followers, as He said, wouldn't either. This book is a good example of how to live with God ever present in our thoughts and actions.
I highly recommend this book.

Review on my blog (to be posted 8/18): http://christianbookshelfreviews.blog...
I read and loved Sherri Wilson Johnson's previous novel, To Dance Once More, a couple years ago, so I was looking forward to this book and it was a good read!
I loved all of the different characters and the suspense that was thrown into this contemporary romance. I was really surprised by something that happened in Song of the Meadowlark -- I won't say what, exactly, except that it had to do with the kidnappings and shocked me.
Overall, I enjoyed this book - it was an interesting read. If you enjoy contemporary fiction, especially ones set in the south, you might want to try this book. :)

A strong combination of suspense and Jane Austen style romance, Song of the Meadowlark leads the reader from Georgia to Florida and back again.
Cora's life journey captures the reader in a way that creates an insatiable need to read more, to learn more, and to discover more.
With a strong faith element, Cora's dependence and faith in the Lord shows the reader the epitome of true love and true devotion.
The romantic dance between Cora and Rex is reminiscence of Elizabeth and Darcy. Delightful and beautiful, emotive and suspenseful, Song of the Meadowlark brings back the style of Victorian-era writing--a truly wonderful read.

I should have known better than to read a book just because it’s free on the Kindle! This book is terrible. The characters are all awful, clueless people, but act like they are better than everyone else in their small town. Cora is very self-righteous for someone who was married to a drug trafficker. The plot makes no sense either. Cora is kidnapped, but escapes. She doesn’t seem fazed by that experience at all. Later when she finds out other women in town have been kidnapped and murdered, she doesn’t have much compassion for them. She seems to think it’s their fault for going out to bars. This book really had no redeemable qualities.
