Tracing the lives and life-long friendships of three southern women beginning in the Depression era and continuing through the early years of the new century, Lark Eden offers a lyrical exploration of the ties that bind lives together as tightly as family, and as surely as love. From frog catching girls with skinned knees to world wizened grandmothers, Lark Eden follows these three lives through personal trials and victories no less daunting than the historical tribulations which provide the backdrop to these everyday American lives.
