Here's what reviewers are saying about

"Fans of Higgs's Scottish historical trilogy (Thorn in My Heart; Fair Is the Rose; and Whence Came a Prince) will be happy to find that the saga of the McKie family continues in this reinterpretation of the story of Dinah from the Book of Genesis. Higgs, whose historical romances are refreshingly different, has written an absorbing, well-crafted novel with a gut-wrenching plot that will move readers. Highly recommended for most collections.
   Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

"Scotland and the Isle of Arran are as fully developed as any of the flesh-and-blood characters of Liz Curtis Higgs's newest book, Grace in Thine Eyes. For a textbook course on the growth of a writer, read Higgs's earlier contemporary romances followed by her Scottish trilogy. Her skill grows with each book, and is well displayed in Grace in Thine Eyes. Higgs is gifted in taking a familiar Bible story and retelling it in a new setting, allowing her readers a glimpse of how Dinah, Jacob, Leah, and their sons might have felt and reacted to impossible situations. By the time I closed the book, I left behind not just my dear friend Davina and her fiddle, but a windswept home on a rocky green island across Brodick Bay. Higgs's prose is lyrical when describing Scotland, but her special skill is crafting characters that leap off the page and into our hearts."

"A Scottish story of heartache, romance, loss and forgiveness, running parallel to the Biblical account of Jacob, Liz Curtis Higgs's Grace in Thine Eyes is a heartwarming experience. Seventeen year old Davina lost her ability to verbalize when just a child, but has mastered communication. With eye contact, hand gestures, and a rare gift of musical talent, Davina wins the hearts of onlookers. Deeply loved by her twin brothers and older brother, Davina is protected and cherished. When the twins are sent away from home by their father, their concern is for the safety of Davina in their absence. Subsequent decisions by the head of the home find Davina also sent away for a time, and what a time it is. Higgs weaves a wonderful story of life and loss, with lessons in forgiveness and healing. Her ability to combine lessons, history and Biblical truths may be unmatched. Recommended reading for older teens and adults."

"Higgs' book is as bonny as the heroine. The author has a way of creating such a tangible world that the reader can smell the hawthorn and touch the dewy grass. She has such an incredible ability to make the reader care about the scoundrel, who should be despised, that this book won't stay on the shelves long."

"The biblical story of Jacob and his family relations have long fascinated generations of readers. Beloved Christian author Liz Curtis Higgs...takes the story of Jacob's daughter Dinah from Genesis 34 and develops it into a lovely, heart-wrenching story of love, loss and redemption. Tragedy turns to love and returns to tragedy, but from beginning to end, Davina relies on her faith and the loving support of her family to see her through. Higgs has spent countless hours researching the Scottish background in which she has set her intriguing biblical tales, and her dedication to detail and description shines through her words. Grace In Thine Eyes can be a stand-alone story, but readers and fans of Higgs' previous works will be delighted to see the return of the beloved characters."
