After carefully studying those passages of Scripture, then thoroughly researching eighteenth-century Scotland, I wrote Thorn in My Heart, hoping I might demonstrate the timeless nature of God’s truth. Perhaps this tale of two brothers and two sisters sounds vaguely familiar…and no wonder! The lives of Jacob and Esau, Leah and Rachel can be found in Genesis 25 and 27-29. Brimming with passion and drama, Thorn in My Heart brings the past to vibrant life, revealing spiritual truths that transcend time and penetrate the deepest places of the heart. Leana and Rose McBride both yearn to catch the eye of the same handsome lad, yet only one sister will be his bride.Ī thorny love triangle emerges, plagued by lies and deception, jealousy and desire, betrayal and broken promises. Jamie and Evan McKie both want their father Alec’s flocks and lands, yet only one brother will inherit Glentrool.
In the autumn of 1788, amid the moors and glens of the Scottish Lowlands, two brothers and two sisters each embark on a painful journey of discovery. Two sisters long to claim one man’s heart. Two brothers fight to claim one father’s blessing. Make sure all three books are available to you, because you will not want a break between reading them. Rich in historical detail, the characters come alive for the reader.
If you haven’t read these books yet, you need to add them to the top of your TBR list.īased on the Biblical story of Jacob, Rachel and Leah, the Lowlands of Scotland series sets the story in Scotland of the 18th century. Although not all the members are fans of historicals, Higgs series was a BIG hit. My book club read the Lowlands of Scotland series several years ago. I have taught her Bible studies, watched her videos and have read all but one of her fiction books. Liz Curtis Higgsis by far my favorite contemporary author. So for you historical fans - this one is for you. Looking back on past posts, I have noticed I have included an inordinate amount of suspense/mystery.
