Mine is the Night by Liz Curtis Higgs

An enjoyable historical Christian fiction novel, Mine is the Night is set in 1700's Scotland. When Margery Kerr loses her sons and her husband along with her wealth she travels to Selkirk, Scotland with her daughter-in-law, Elisabeth, to try to begin her life again. Though in danger and unwelcome they arrive at their cousin, Anne's home where they are allowed to reside.  Elisabeth's tender nature and talent with a needle bring her work and the ladies are able to buy what they need to survive, though frugally. Eventually Elisabeth obtains a position as a seamstress at the estate of Lord Jack Buchanan sewing clothes for the large household staff. Though still in mourning for her late husband a romance blossoms between Elisabeth and Jack. Rich in historical detail including proper behavior and society of the time, clothing, and interesting characters along with humor make this an engaging book. This book is a sequel to Here Burns My Candle, a novel I have not read but I was able to grasp the plot and connect to the characters in this second book of the series.
