Rachel Linden is new to me author, well I guess she is new to all of us since this is her debut novel. Rachel Linden is a novelist and international aid worker whose adventures living and traveling in over fifty countries around the world provide excellent grist for her writing. She enjoys creating stories about hope and courage with a hint of romance and a touch of whimsy. Ascension of Larks was quite an unforgettable read and in my review, you'll find out why.
