The first book in the Flowers of Eden series introduced readers to Bryony Linwood, an orphan trying desperately to provide for her sisters in the shadow of the Great Depression. In Castles in the Clouds, we meet Larkspur Linwood, a young woman with a passion for teaching who yearns for more than life as a small-town schoolmarm. When a handsome professor offers her the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help him start a school in Africa, Lark gives up everything to follow him. But does heartbreak mean love and adventure are out of reach forever?
