''Lowlands of Scotland'' is a four book series by Liz Curtis Higgs, [[WholePlotReference retelling]] the [[Literature/TheBible biblical]] story of Jacob, Leah, Rachel, and Dinah, set in the late-1700s Scottish lowlands. The series manages to stay remarkably close to the original story without taking liberties with historical accuracy; Higgs did a lot of research before writing the books, and it shows.
The series includes the following books:
* ''Thorn in My Heart'': Primarily follows Leona; the book starts with Jamie and Evan's birth and ends with the birth of Leona's first child.
* ''Fair is the Rose'': Primarily follows Rose; the book covers the tumultuous adjustment to the events of the previous book.
* ''Whence Comes a Prince'': Primarily follows Jamie; the book traces Jamie's decision to return home and the growth of his family.
* ''Grace in Thine Eyes'': Primarily follow Davina, Jamie's daughter; the book recounts the most difficult and life-changing summer of her life.
Because this page is about the whole series, be aware that discussion of later books may spoil plot points from earlier books. Also, general plot points which carry over from the biblical account are not marked as spoilers.
