Lady Elisabeth Kerr is the keeper of a secret. Born in the Highlands, but married to a gentleman from Edinburgh, she remains faithful to ancestral rites, even though doubts and fears stir painfully within her. Her husband, Lord Donald, also has his secrets, well kept in the eyes of his family, secret, but which are whispered about in town.

Lord Donald's mother, the Dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold under her floorboards and guilt in her heart. Although her two dominant passions are preserving her rank in good society and pampering her sons, Majory's many regrets, buried in Grayfriars Cemetery, continue to torment her.

One by one, the secrets of the Kerr family come to light, as the handsome Prince Charlie and his rebel army march into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on seizing the crown.

A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, set against the backdrop of eighteenth-century Scotland, Here I Lay My Candle illuminates the dark side of the human soul, while hope , always radiant, lights the way back home.
