Here Burns My Candle  by Liz Curtis Higgs (Book One)

This is an historical novel that takes place in Scotland and England during King George.  There is a mood of rebellion throughout Scotland, led by the desire of some called JacoBites who wanted to return Charles II back on the Stuart throne of Scotland.  The harshness of George in his reprisals on those who supported Bonnie Prince Charles is brought to the fore.  You will have to read this book to see for yourself!  Evan as a history buff, I enjoyed reading this book!
