ABOUT THE BOOK
A daughter who cannot escape her past.
Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts and fears stir deep within her.
Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips.
His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Though her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, Marjory’s many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her.
One by one the Kerr family secrets begin to surface, even as bonny Prince Charlie and his rebel army ride into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on capturing the crown.
A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, flickering against the vivid backdrop of eighteenth-century Scotland, Here Burns My Candle illumines the dark side of human nature, even as hope, the brightest of tapers, lights the way home.

This is a book to die for! I fell in love with Liz when I heard her speak at a women's conference in Louisville many years ago. And while I've used her Bad Girls series for Bible studies, I have yet to read any of her fiction. Thank you so much for the chance to win a copy, Cara.

I adore the 18th Century setting in Ireland! The time period is fascinating to me and Liz is a
fabulous writer. Many thanks, Cindi

Favorite kind of story, set in another century in a foreign land. I would enjoy losing myself in this book. I've not read anything yet by Liz Curtis Higgs - but I certainly intend to do so. Thanks for the opportunity.
Blessed Be in Christ,
