”THE PRAYER BOX is a masterpiece of story and skill."-- Debbie Macomber, NYT #1 Bestselling Author
“A good option for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Mary Alice Monroe" - Library Journal
When Iola Anne Poole, an old-timer on Hatteras Island, passes away in her bed at ninety-one, the struggling young mother in her rental cottage, Tandi Jo Reese, finds herself charged with the task of cleaning out Iola’s rambling Victorian house.
Running from a messy, dangerous past, Tandi never expects to find more than a temporary hiding place within Iola’s walls, but everything changes with the discovery of eighty-one carefully decorated prayer boxes, one for each year, spanning from Iola’s youth to her last days. Hidden in the boxes is the story of a lifetime, written on random bits of paper--the hopes and wishes, fears and thoughts of an unassuming but complex woman passing through the seasons of an extraordinary, unsung life filled with journeys of faith, observations on love, and one final lesson that could change everything.
This masterfully woven tale includes:
- A lush, southern setting
- Themes of past mistakes, faith, and redemption
- A touch of romance
Perfect for fans of Christian women’s fiction, this novel now includes discussion questions for book clubs.
Starred review. A beautiful, lyrical style reminiscent of those of Mary Alice Monroe and Patti Callahan Henry.
The Prayer Box is a charming book that transcends simple hope and healing while capturing the heart of the reader.
Lisa Wingate writes with grace, beauty, and so much heart.
