This one made up for the previous story Fair is the Rose

I decided I simply had to read Whence Came a Prince to find out if Leana found happiness after all, despite the screwed up situation that tore her precious son from her arms at two months of age and dumped the baby into the lap of her selfish sister, Rose. So, long story short, I agonized through much of the book, but was very satisfied with the ending. And yes, Jamie finally pulled his head out of the sand and realized he had to care for Leana and not abandon her. In the end, Leana's love and devotion paid off and because of the happy ending, I now feel ten times better about the series and would recommend it. Thank the good Lord that Liz didn't let us down with the conclusion of this powerful series. I finished the story a week ago and I'm still thinking about it because the characters became so real to me. This Scottish tale sticks with you. Worth the read if you can make it through Fair is the Rose without wanting to hurt someone. :)

Looking forward to more

I was so happy when this book finally came out, now I can't wait for the next. This is a horistial fiction account of the Jacob/Rachel/Leah story from the Bible, but set in 1700s Scotland. This particular book focuses on the story from Jamie's (modeled after Jacob) point of view. I find the books intriguing-how to set the one man, two wives (who are sisters) story from the Bible into a more "modern" setting. While the tale seems far fetched in today's society, our imaginations can see that this could have happened in long ago Scotland. The characters are gripping, and Ms. Higgs can make you feel for each of them every time. Well worth a read.

Higgs is the best Author ever!!!!

I have read hundreds of books, but this series is by far the greatest I have ever read!! Higgs is so talented, you never miss a single piece of what is going on. I love not only her writing style but her true love for God. This series is not only entertaining, but sprirtually uplifting!! My mother, grandmother, sister and I have not been able to quit talking about these books. Thank you Liz for a wonderful book!!!

Hooked on the series

I just finished Whence came a prince and was not dissapointed. I stayed up all night while reading the previous two books and did the same with this one. I would highly recommend this series. Ms. Higgs writing style allows you to feel as if you are living the story with the characters. I can not wait to read Grace in thine eyes.

A Verra Guid Conclusion, Indeed!

Early this afternoon, I picked up a copy of Whence Came a Prince, and I have just finished reading it. I loved the first two books in the series, as well, but in this final installment, Liz Curtis Higgs has created a masterpiece. The book, rich with details about the beautiful Scottish land in which the story takes place, takes you on an emotional journey filled with love, grief, and hope. As the story of Jamie, Leana, and Rose draws to a close, you can't can't help feeling that you've been with them every step of their difficult journey. I highly recommend this rich, engaging story to anyone with a love for romance, historical fiction, and Biblical truths. But I do offer a warning--make sure to have tissues on hand!!
