This book is the sequel to The Ark. A delightful review from Plumfield and Paidea has made many of you aware of Rowan Farm and it's become one the most sought after books on our site this year.
In January 1948, with Father recently home from a Russian prison camp, the Lechow family is reunited at last, finding peace and security in the Ark—their repurposed railroad car home on Rowan Farm.
For Margret, life is finally finding its rhythm. Between training Mrs. Almut’s prize-winning Great Danes and nursing an abused Shetland pony back to health, she has found a sense of purpose in the animals she loves. Yet life remains complicated: her younger sister Andrea is in trouble at school, her brother Matthias is distracted by a superficial romance, and a determined young schoolmaster is working to transform a bombed-out farm into a home for veterans.
In this heartfelt sequel to The Ark, Margot Benary-Isbert captures the resilience of the human spirit in this timeless story of hope renewed and the joys of a family rebuilding their lives.
