Book Giveaway!

Congrats to Cherry  for winning Water's Edge. I'll email you to get your address. :)

Today, I'm giving away Here Burns my Candle. To enter, just leave a comment. I had a long day and can't think of a fun topic. Sorry. I guess you could tell me how you relax after a long day. I can only ship to the U.S. I'll pick a winner next Tuesday, and you'll have a week to reply.


Just a tease--next week, I'm giving away Smitten, written by four of my favorite authors, which doesn't come out until December. :) I just have to finish it first.

Here Burns my Candle by Liz Curtis Higgs

Secrets can destroy a person, a reputation, and a family. The members of the Kerr family all have secrets that can destroy the ones they love. Lady Elisabeth Kerr hides her beliefs. Her husband hides his affairs. Her mother-in-law hides her money and her guilt. When their secrets begin to come out, will they be able to find the forgiveness and redemption they all desperately need? Set in eighteenth-century Scotland at the height of a revolution, this novel explores the transformation that comes when the light of the world comes into a dark heart.

I enjoyed this book. I’m not usually a huge fan of books set in Scotland (I think I have to focus too much on the dialect to truly enjoy the story, which I know would be easy if I read more stories set here.) But, this story intrigued me. This book contains everything from romance to family loyalty, including standing up for one’s beliefs, forgiveness, and even the ills of a society that focuses on titles and appearances. Fans of Christian historical fiction will enjoy this book and will see parallels to the Biblical story of Ruth, who is one of my favorite Bible characters.

The end of the book is merely a beginning for the second one, and I look forward to reading it.

I received this book from the publisher for the purpose of reviewing. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
