She learns the stories of a poor highlander who dares to marry an English nobleman. . .a lady who tries to save her bodyguard from death ... and a serf who saves her laird's life and defies political boundaries. In her search, will Audrey find the same commitment to God and passion to live and love? When Audrey MacMurray seeks her Scottish roots, she uncovers the lives of brave, romantic women of the fourteenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries.
Highland Legacy:
I'm not a real critic like some others. I just know what I enjoy and don't enjoy. I enjoyed this book very much. I read it to my husband at night in bed. We both enjoyed the book. I have read several books with four stories in one book, and really enjoy them. I believe when four people write an ongoing, connecting story it must be hard to keep things together. I like the connecting story of Audrey in this book. Reading out loud to my husband, I found myself reading with different voices for the different individuals. I guess I really got into the stories. I love Christian fiction. I find other Christian people facing trials much as we do today. I find great encouragement and comfort in their relationship with Christ.
OUTSTANDING book !:
I enjoyed every second of reading this book. It is so refreshing not to have to skip through pages of endless smut that does not do anything for the story. This was a wonderful blessing to read ! As a family genealogist , it really made the stories even more enjoyable to read. Hope to see books like this to buy. God bless and enjoy reading !
Great book! Couldn't put it down!:
I thought this was a wonderful book! I read it in one day. I have never read a book like this before and wondered if I would like the fact that there are four stories in one book. However, I will be reading more books like this one. The characters were wonderful and the message was too! I highly recommend this book!
Novels Within a Novel:
If you're looking for a christian romance or interested in genealogy, this book may hit the spot for you. With segments written by four different authors, I found it rather uneven. The concept sounds good, but I just didn't find some of the heroines engaging. It starts as a contemporary romance with Audrey MacMurray taking a genealogy class. She's attracted to the instructor, but backs off when she realizes he's a youth minister. Soured on religion by her missionary parent's abandoment of her, Audrey resists efforts to draw her into the religious activities. As she continues her research, the book jumps to ancestors of hers. This generates several sub-romances set in different periods of Scotland. One character, Celeste, is quite passive, though her growing feelings for her bodyguard mingle with her spiritual growth as he reads the Bible to her.
Enjoyable from Cover to Cover:
I loved this book. It is a book I love to read over and over again just because every story is a delight. The characters are well developed for the length of their stories. I especially love the way the authoress' had the all stories tie together.
