"In
her extraordinary Scottish trilogy that comes to an enthralling conclusion
with Whence Came a Prince, Liz Curtis Higgs maps the tender
journeys of the human heart with indelible ink. Leana, Rose, and Jamie
teach us both the price of passion and the redeeming power of love." "Not
only do I feel I've lived the story of Leana, Rose, and Jamie, but enjoyed
a lovely journey across Scotland as well. A wonderful read!" "It
isn't always that the continuing books in a series keep getting better and
better, and rarer still do I discover stories I don't want to end. Liz
Curtis Higgs has accomplished both feats, and with Whence Comes a
Prince confirms the fact that she's one of the strongest voices in
Christian historical fiction. Another triumph!" "A
triumphant conclusion to Liz Curtis Higgs's remarkable trilogy. Liz's
impeccable research, sense of history, and love of her subject bring her
characters' struggles and victories to life in a story you'll never
forget." "I
fell completely under the spell of Liz Curtis Higgs's masterful
storytelling in Whence Came a Prince, savoring every wonderful word
and rich detail. Romantic, heartbreaking, joyful, and full of hope, Prince
met all my expectations and more. I was eager to discover how the story of
Leana, Rose, and Jamie would end, but I'm oh-so-sorry to bid these
characters goodbye after turning the last page. Magical!" "Whence
Came a Prince is the incredibly compelling conclusion to Liz Curtis
Higgs's remarkable Scottish trilogy. I was captivated from the first book
and have agonized in waiting for book three to finally be in my hands. I
was not disappointed. Liz has taken what could have been a triple threat—biblical history, Scottish history, and the difficulty of not
overwhelming the reader with either one—and has created a story that is
sure to last the ages. I highly recommend this book—this series!" "In
Whence Came a Prince, Liz Curtis Higgs has created a masterpiece, a
literary gift that I will long cherish. As with Thorn in My Heart
and Fair Is the Rose, this novel is richly complex, and beautifully
captures the depth of the human spirit in Leana, Rose, and Jamie. This
truly is Liz Curtis Higgs's most powerful book yet!" "Liz
Curtis Higgs keeps getting better and better. In Whence Came a Prince,
the story of a man loved by two women, the inner battle is universal. I
saw myself in each of these finely drawn characters and ached for their
very human struggles. This trilogy is indeed a keeper." "I
eagerly awaited the third book in this historical fiction series, and it
was well worth the wait! Liz Curtis Higgs's depiction of life in
18th-century Scotland immersed me in a world I was reluctant to leave. I could hear the Scottish brogue, smell the
heather, and taste the baked salmon and scones. But my greatest delight
was in her finely drawn characters. Jamie, Rose and Leana are real,
imperfect people whom I grew to know and love. The complex relationship
between Leana and Rose was especially beautiful, as Ms. Higgs portrayed
the sisters' conflicting feelings of jealously and love. I wept with Leana,
whose trust in God never wavered. And with Jamie, who learned to trust God
even when he was wronged. Whence Came a Prince is an unforgettable
conclusion to an unforgettable series." |
