While many characters are not appealing to me because it is too many story lines to keep track of, I appreciated that the book mainly focuses on two of the characters, Elizabeth and Marjory. The Scottish setting was interesting, yet some of the language distracted me from the read.

I found that Liz Curtis Higgs has taken a page out of Francine Rivers book and wrote in the likes on Naomi and Ruth out of the Bible, making the story come to light in new ways. I do enjoy historical fiction and this read and this one hit home with me. That is the best way I can describe the feeling of this book. There is nothing like the feeling of reading a book that makes you feel like you dropped into the pages to explore the world it proved for yourself. not–discover the truth, or all will be ruined. 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. 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. His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she turns to the auld ways, desperate to conceal a generations-old scandal that taints her family’s name. Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets.
