WISE WOMAN

A historical Christian novel from award-winning author Liz Curtis Higgs.

In this compelling medieval tale set on a remote Scottish island in the Hebrides, a local midwife and wise woman named Muriel finds her simple life suddenly complicated by a remarkable discovery--one that holds irresistible appeal for any woman but also wields the power to provoke jealousy and destroy relationships. Will she keep this secret to herself? Or will she share it with her community and risk drawing unwanted attention from other clans, from other Isles, even from their dreaded enemy, the English?

This eagerly anticipated historical Scottish novel from best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs explores someof the deepest questions women face about beauty and worth, about friendships and fear, about what it means to value each season of life.
