It's just not historical romance without a bit of mystery. Liz Curtis Higgs gives us more than a little mystery, as her characters are brimming with secrets in her new book, Here Burns My Candle.
But there is so much more. The story unfolds quickly and the reader falls in love with the characters. Living breathing characters who are refined through fire: challenged to become more than they ever imagined possible. Filled with historical and geographical detail the reader is transported to another time and another place.
Liz Curtis Higgs tells a story worth hearing. Her words and characters ring true. She deals honestly with real life issues through a Christian perspective. The reader would be hard pressed not to find parallels between the characters lives and her own.
Here Burns My Candle is set in 18th century Scotland and retells the story of Old Testament story of Naomi and Ruth.
A mother who cannot face her future.
A daughter who cannot escape her past.
Finally, a book worth reading from cover to cover!
