Here Burns My Candle is one of her very best.

“Settle in with Here Burns My Candle, Liz Curtis Higgs’s imaginative
reworking of the tale of Naomi and Ruth, and venture back to a dangerous
and fascinating time with characters who are as endearing as they
are flawed. You can almost hear the drums of war and the swish of kilts
and satin.”

romance, and spiritual faith. Her attention to historical detail gives this
story a life all its own, and the characters were so real I found myself

book down.”

“Liz CurtisHiggs writes with a cinematic eye—color, texture, emotional
depth. Her words give breath to this fresh twist on a beloved Old Testament
story. Here Burns My Candle radiates the author’s love of Scotland
and its mesmeric history in this story of women bound by obligation yet
tethered to devotion. It will keep you up all night until you’ve turned the
last dramatic page!”
—PATRICIA HICKMAN, author of The Pirate Queen
“I love a story that engages the heart first, the mind second. While
reading Higgs’s
novel, I became her noble heroine and was convicted by similarities
to her antagonist, learning through it all. Come away to an
enchanting glimpse of ancient Scotland and beyond. Truly amazing.”
—LISA TAWN BERGREN, author of The Begotten
