“Liz Curtis Higgs has an unmatched ability to illuminate the depth of human emotions while taking her readers on a breathtaking journey through the darkness and light of another time and another place. With the deft hand only a master storyteller can apply, Higgs reaches back to the past and weaves a multi-threaded tapestry into a brilliant tale of betrayal and challenge, love and redemption. Her gift continues to shine.”

—FRANCINE RIVERS, author of Redeeming Love

"A beautiful story beautifully told. It's always such a delight to visit my favorite Scottish scenes with Liz and her wonderful characters. The breadth and depth of her knowledge of her subject and her eye for detail add so much richness to all her stories and Here Burns My Candle is one of her very best.
   —DONNA FLETCHER CROW, author of A Very Private Grave

“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.”

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
