Unmerited Grace

fairies, castles, dukes, gentleman, my bonny lass, fiddles, enchanting music...these are just some of the things that have once again taken me back to Scotland. a place of mystery, silence, innocence, betrayal, mercy, romance, revenge, pain and grace in Grace in Thine Eyes by: Liz Curtis Higgs. this is the story of Jacob (jamie) and Leah's (leanna) daughter Dinah (davina). Higgs has once again amazed and impressed me in this wonderful story of forgiveness and grace. i began my Scottish journey a couple of months ago in Thorn in my Heart. here is what i wrote months ago about the first three books in the series.

  1. I just finished "Return" -- of course I cried! So good. Did you ever read Ocean's apart?

    Did you forget to do your TTT this week? Send me your new address please. I figure I better write you first since you moved.
    Oh and I think I forgot to write down those authors for you...Ray Blackston (Flabbergasted) and Linda (Lee) Chaikin (look under her full name and then just first and last)

  7. Return is #3 -- the one about Luke. I am now waiting for #4.

    I'm also reading Dobson's book "The New Strong Willed Child." Not as nearly entertaining.
