CBA Bestselling Author -- Here Burns My Candle is a compelling tale of two women from different lands and different generations, united by the same family name and the same bitter tragedy. The book of Ruth shines like a sparkling gem among the rough stones of warfare and judgment in the Old Testament. Imagine lifting this timeless narrative from the pages of Scripture and spreading it across the rich backdrop of mid-eighteenth-century Edinburgh. Three gentlewomen - a wealthy widow, Marjory Kerr, and her daughters-in-law, Elisabeth and Janet - take a harrowing journey that is not without purpose in their lives. Like the biblical account of Ruth, the moving story of Elisabeth Kerr clearly demonstrates the power of faithfulness, the value of sacrifice, and the gift of unconditional love.
