Here's what other authors are saying about

 

"What gems, cut from the auld plaid and good Book...simply grand, compelling, heart-wrenching. A tale of love, betrayal, faith and forgiveness in old Scotland that tosses the reader's heart from page to page like a thistle in the wind."
   —Linda Windsor, author of Maire

"Fair Is the Rose captured my heart and didn't let go even after the last page was turned. Ms. Higgs transported me back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland with such excellent storytelling skill and historical accuracy that I was there, walking beside Leana, Rose, and Jamie on their heart-wrenching journey. Leana's example of sacrificial love and triumphant faith is with me still."
     —Diane Noble, author of Phoebe

“Wonderful writing and a terrific story. Fair Is the Rose explores living, breathing people with heart-wrenching conflicts and one woman with a faith that shines. The reader is transported. Be sure to have a box of tissues close at hand.”
     —Francine Rivers, author of Redeeming Love

“A colorful tapestry woven from painstaking research, a rich, vivid setting, and compelling, wonderfully real characters. With excellent writing and a keen understanding of human nature, Liz Curtis Higgs delivers a first-rate, fascinating historical saga. As big and bold a story as the Galloway landscape where it takes place and the hearts of the people who inhabit it.” 
     —B. J. Hoff, author of Cadence and An Emerald Ballad

"I finished both Thorn in My Heart and Fair Is the Rose and really loved them. You certainly did a marvelous job of transporting it into a closer century and helping us identify with the pain of each sister. I was impressed with the Scottish dialect and history. You also did a fine job of portraying the depravity of each of us--and the sovereignty of God."
     —Dee Brestin, co-author of Falling in Love with Jesus

“Och! What a guid buik! Once again Liz Curtis Higgs transported me to 18th-century Scotland and caused me to lose my heart to Jamie, Leana, and Rose. I couldn't help but yearn for all three to find lasting love and happiness. The next installment can't get here fast enough to suit me.”
     —Robin Lee Hatcher, author of Beyond the Shadows

“Fair Is the Rose is an absolutely stunning sequel to Thorn In My Heart. I was transported back in time to my ancestral Scotland and relished every moment. An exceptional work!”
     —Linda Lee Chaikin, author of Yesterday’s Promise

“Liz Higgs’s writing resonates with romance and the inward struggles of the human heart.  You can almost hear the tunes rising o’er the brae.”
     —Patricia Hickman, author of Fallen Angels
