Thorn in
My Heart is a
beautifully written, touching book by Liz Curtis Higgs, who does a masterful
job of taking the beautiful story of Leah, Rachel, and Jacob from the pages of
Genesis, setting it in a different era.
The story
unfolds in 1788 Scotland, where twin brothers, Evan and Jamie McKie vie for a
father's blessing. When the elder McKie gives the blessing to the wrong
brother, chaos and murderous threats ensue. Driven away from the prosperous
estate of Glentrool by his jealous brother, Jamie flees to his uncle Lachlan's
property of Auchengray with the blessing of his mother, Rowena. Once there, he
hides his true intentions of seeking a bride among his cousins Leana and Rose,
and agrees to work for a month for his uncle Lachlan while he decides which
cousin to marry.
Somehow,
everything goes wrong. From his wedding, to which woman he truly chose for his wife. Plagued by the deceit of the past and the lies
of the present, hidden secrets and two sisters that vie for his heart, Jamie is
torn between what is right - and what truly belongs to him.
From the
beginning of this book until the last page, your imagination and your heart will
be captured. The very human struggles each character faces will engage your
emotions. The harshness of a father. The love of two sisters. And the
undeserved redemption and forgiveness offered to one man who neither wants nor
deserves it. It is a thrilling peek into the lives of a family that is very
much like our own, who face the same challenges we do, and are as human as we
are. A very engaging Christian book.
To read the real biblical story in the bible, go to Genesis 25:19 through 29:29.
Blessings,
