The Meadowlark is a sweeping saga of three generations of powerful women set against the building of the American West and a modern discovery of deep family roots. In a landscape both cruel and magnificent, it is the story of the uphill struggles endured by the people settling this country and the pride, perseverance, and faith it takes to succeed then or now.
In 1885, southeastern Idaho was the last part of the country to open for homesteading. Young Cassie Rapp arrives with her family to somehow farm a country overrun by sagebrush and lacking water. With others they meet, they harness the mighty Snake River and turn 100,000 acres of barren earth into the rich farm community it is today.
Interwoven throughout is the story of modern-day Emma Rose. Emma’s work as a notable speaker and business consultant takes a shift when her father passes, just as she commits to write her first book. Mystified by her father’s request to be buried in a small Idaho town, Emma’s journey of discovery begins from there.
The Meadowlark delivers a page-turning ode to pioneering spirit, one of moving past shadows, and of love, hardship, and grace both then and now.
Rich in historical detail and human emotion, The Meadowlark offers the debut of a strong new writer. B.C. Walker combines a keen observer’s eye and the particularity of place to lay out a lush, large-scale, multi-generational story.
