On a Lark (The Fidelia McCord Series, Book 2)
In On a Lark, Fidelia McCord has become the only surviving child of John and Mariah McCord of Pond Springs. After having borne great loss and hardship in mid-nineteenth century Texas - where moments of jubilation and jeopardy carry a girl to womanhood - Fidelia knows the weight of her choices. At the same time, far away in North Carolina, the Maloney brothers, cooking mash into whiskey in the Appalachian mountains, are making their own life-changing decisions, with Miles Maloney trying to keep his brother Jackson in check and away from the gallows. But, as Fidelia and Miles each forge their own path to a future, destiny has plans of its own.
"A riveting and realistic novel of the westward expansion, inspired by real people. Life on the trail and on the Texas frontier was not easy for anyone, much less a seven-year old girl whose faith was tested...but those who persevered and survived would find new joys."
--Miles O'Neal, author of The Dragon Lord Chronicles
"Ms. Murphy develops the powerful characters of this story in such a way that they come alive and you feel that you know each one of them personally. On a Lark will linger long after reading it."
--Jane Caraway, author of Baby in a Mailbox
