Glen of Loch Trool. Spring 1808.

Davina McKie is a bonny lass of seventeen, as clever as they come and a gifted musician. Unable to speak since childhood, she is doted on by her belligerent younger brothers, Will and Sandy, who vow to protect their silent sister.
When the lads are forced to depart the glen, Jamie McKie intends to brighten his daughter’s summer by escorting Davina to the Isle of Arran. Her cousins make her welcome at the manse, and the parish delights in hearing their talented fiddler.
But when she catches the eye of a handsome young Highlander on Midsummer Eve, sheltered Davina is unprepared for the shocking events that follow.
A timeless story of passion and revenge, of lost innocence and shattered dreams, Grace in Thine Eyes explores the sorrow of unspeakable shame and the gift of immeasurable grace.

      Starred review from April 1, 2006
      Fans of Higgs's Scottish historical trilogy (Thorn in My Heart; Fair Is the Rose; and Whence Came a Prince) will be happy to find that the saga of the McKie family continues in this reinterpretation of the story of Dinah from the Book of Genesis. Davina McKie, the mute 17-year-old daughter of Jaime and Leana, is devastated when her father decides to send her beloved twin brothers far away for schooling. To ease Davina's pains, Jaime has his daughter visit cousins on the Isle of Arran, where she is invited to entertain the Duke of Hamilton's guests with her fiddling. But one guest, Somerled MacDonald, becomes too enamored of the girl with disastrous consequences. Higgs, whose historical romances are refreshingly different, has written an absorbing, well-crafted novel with a gut-wrenching plot that will move readers. Highly recommended for most collections. The author lives in Louisville, KY.
