One of my all-time favorites

There are only a very few select books that I have read more than once. I would consider this book among one of my all-time favorites. I have read it through about 5 times, and will surely do so again...at least once every year I read it. I don't know...there is just something about this book that I am completely in love with. I would...and have...recommended it to many people.

Wonderful!

Song of the Highlands is a spectacular book filled with adventure, romance, and suspense. I have read books of all kinds and I must say this is one that I come back to time and time again. Ms. Gillenwater develops the characters in such a way that you feel like they are your good friends. You care about what happens to each and every one of them. Unlike secular romance, Song of the Highlands enforces good morals; but unlike many other Christian novels, the relationships are not dry and boring. The characters are Christian without being unrealistically good. They struggle with right and wrong just as each of us do. The book is well written so you can follow it easily and you don't get characters mixed up. I highly recommend it for anyone and everyone looking for a great read. (don't forget to read Highland Call after you finish Song of the Highlands... I recommend you buy both becaused you're going to want to keep up with your new "friends")

Song of the Highlands

I loved this book. Sharon Gillenwater makes the characters alive. You really feel like you know each one. For once there's a romance that is clean. A 14 year old could read it without guilt, but that doesn't mean that it lacks romantic parts. Plus it's not all mushy huggy kissy. There's adventure! Plenty of it, just when you think everyone's safe and the story can wind down something else happens and You're living on the edge again. You can't put this book down until you finish (even then you have a hard time). I'm adicted, I can't wait to read more of Ms. Gillenwater's books.

Excellent!

Sharon Gillenwater is one of my favorite authors and this is perhaps my favorite book that she has written. I look forward to reading many more of her books and also hope that she writes a series based on this book. Keep up the good work Sharon!

A moving and challenging work.

This was the first of Ms. Gillenwater's books I have read, and I was impressed with her ability to portray characters sincerely devoted to serving Christ and to honoring Him in their relationships with the opposite sex. For years I read secular romances, shunning Christian romances for fear that they would be sappy, boring, and unrealistic. To my delight, I found the characters in this book to be very real and the story to be every bit as passionate, humorous, and interesting as any other I have read. I highly recommend it and look forward to reading other books by Ms. Gillenwater.
