P RAISE FOR
Mine Is the Night
Mine Is the Night was everything I hoped it would bethe crown of the series! I loved the historical setting, the details, the love stories, the characters who change and grow. The pace and story lines kept me turning pages; I couldnt put it down.
F RANCINE R IVERS , author of Redeeming Love
Few authors stir my emotions more deeply than Liz Curtis Higgs. One does not merely read her novels; one forges a bond so deep with her characters that reader and story become one, embarking on a journey that both inspires and transforms. But be warnedMine Is the Night will steal your night from the first page to the last, and never will hours be better spent. It was an absolute pleasure to read.
J ULIE L ESSMAN , author of A Hope Undaunted
Liz Curtis Higgs has once again combined her extraordinary skill as a storyteller with her elegant writing style to weave a grand Scottish tale, one that transports us back to the past in an emotional and unforgettable journey. I was reluctant to see the story of the Kerr women endbut what an ending it is!
BJ H OFF , author of The Emerald Ballad series
Liz Curtis Higgs does it again! Mine Is the Night delivers a compelling story of intrigue, adventure, and love. With extreme attention to detail and historical accuracy, Liz creates a love story to last the ages.
T RACIE P ETERSON , author of Embers of Love
Liz Curtis Higgs brings the book of Ruth to life in Jacobite Scotland with Mine Is the Night, a page-turning, emotionally intense, gloriously researched, and soul-stirring read. I was in eighteenth-century Scotland with characters I did not want to leave. Simply brilliant.
L INDA W INDSOR , author of Healer
Stunning from start to finish! Sharply witty, charming, romantic, captivating. Liz Curtis Higgs delivers a finale that satisfies in every way. Her best yet!

Here Burns My Candle
Higgss latest richly detailed, leisurely paced novel about two women whose faith brings them closer together is a compelling tale of love, loss, faith, and forgiveness that is certain to please both inspirational readers and fans of well-crafted historical fiction.
B OOKLIST
The characters are remarkably flawed Higgs is a stickler for period authenticity and has done her homework on history and dialect. Fans have been waiting for this novel and will not be disappointed.
P UBLISHERS W EEKLY
Based on the story of Naomi and Ruth but vividly evoking its 18th-century Scottish setting, Here Burns My Candle is a memorable tale of divided loyalties and endurance in the face of tragedy, with flawed, convincing characters and abundant historical detail.
H ISTORICAL N OVELS R EVIEW
Christy Award winner Higgs (Whence Came a Prince) has a faithful following The authors broad appeal makes this a winner for those who love period detail in their historicals.
L IBRARY J OURNAL
Higgs latest novel is stunning in its prose and its historical accuracy. The author transports the reader to another time and place while paralleling the book of Ruth. Readers will anxiously await the second part of the story.

For two special Elizabeths in my life:
Elizabeth Hoagland
and Elizabeth Jeffries,
my dear Louisville friends,
with fond memories of our
Elizabethan lunches.
May the meaning of your name,
consecrated to God,
bless your souls
now and forever.
Mine is the night,
with all her stars.
E DWARD Y OUNG
Foul whisperings are abroad.
W ILLIAM S HAKESPEARE
Selkirkshire
26 April 1746
he distant hoofbeats were growing louder.
Elisabeth Kerr quickly pushed aside the curtain and leaned out the carriage window. A cool spring rain, borne on a blustery wind, stung her cheeks. She could not see the riders on horseback, hidden by the steep hill behind her. But she could hear them galloping hard, closing the gap.
Her mother-in-law seemed unconcerned, her attention drawn to the puddle forming at their feet. A frown creased her brow. Do you mean for us to arrive in Selkirk even more disheveled than we already are? Three long days of being jostled about in a cramped and dirty coach had left Marjory Kerr in a mood as foul as the weather.
Tis not the rain that concerns me. Elisabeth resumed her seat, feeling a bit unsteady. No ordinary traveling party would ride with such haste.
Marjorys breath caught. Surely you do not think
I do.
Had they not heard the rumors at every inn and coaching halt? King Georges men were scouring the countryside for anyone whod aided bonny Prince Charlie in his disastrous bid to reclaim the British throne for the long-deposed Stuarts. Each whispered account was worse than the last. Wounded rebel soldiers clubbed to death. Houses burned with entire families inside. Wives and daughters ravished by British dragoons.
Help us, Lord. Please. Elisabeth slipped her arm round her mother-in-laws shoulders as she heard the riders crest the hill and bear down on them.
We were almost home, Marjory fretted.
