Popular author Liz Curtis Higgs has written four highly regarded Scottish historical novels (see THORN IN MY HEART, FAIR IS THE ROSE, WHENCE CAME A PRINCE, and GRACE IN THINE EYES). To provide authenticity to these tales, Ms. Higgs would travel to the Lowlands, especially Galloway, which she insists is "the country's best kept secret". Over time her trips to Scotland turned into an annual getaway, to include leading a Heart for Scotland book tour. Thus, the armchair audience will see the Lowlands from a passionate person who cherishes the area.
The book takes readers on quite a tour, including the expected castles and villages. However, Ms. Higgs brings more than old ruins, as she tells a story that brings to life the world of Robert Burns, the age of smugglers in the coves, and Benny Gillies "modern day" bookstore etc. Readers who enjoy Scottish historical romances will want to visit the pubs and tearooms, the churches and castles, the tiny villages and the bigger cities, as tour guide Liz Curtis Higgs shows why her heart is in the Lowlands.
