Kit finally has recognized that no matter what she wants to sing. Only, it comes as a shock to realize that what is at last so obvious to her isn't as obvious to everyone else.

In this Carnegie Award winning sequel to The Lark in the Morn, seventeen-year-old Kit, once again, is up against her practical cousin Laura, who has helped in the raising of Kit and her three older brothers. Both well-known and new faces appear as Kit struggles towards her goal and as the story takes us to London, abroad to France and back again through old familiar settings to afitting culmination in the Heryot Cathedral. Set in the 1950's and filled with warmth and insight, The Lark on the Wing continues the adventures of "that dratted little Quaker" as she spreads her wings and lets her heart, mind and voice take flight.
