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.

Ooh La La!

"...the gift of a true friend is that she sees you not the way you see yourself or the way others see you. A true friend sees who you are inside and who you can become."

Robin Jones Gunn

Sisterchicks say Ooh La La!

i really enjoyed it because it takes place in Paris where i would love to go one day, but it is also about two women who were friends at a very young age. stories like that always bring a smile to my face and remind me of my best friend who i too met a very young age and have held on to her for years. through the rough years of jr high, our amazing and not so amazing times at summer camp, our high school years (heartbreaks, joys, accomplishments), when i left for college and she still had a another year of high school, as college roommates for 3 years (heartbreaks again, joys and accomplishments) many more things that would take me forever to write about and i am sure many, many more corses in our life that we will take the twists and turns together. i love you "t".
