The Prayer Box
From the #1 New York Times author of Before We Were Yours.
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 for Tandi.

Made me cry. I so believe in miracles and I believe that Our Father sends them our way if we only open our eyes. Beautiful book. Thank you for writing it.

You will learn of a woman’s faith through her letters to God and of a young woman trying to look forward instead of back at a trauma filled youth.

This is the second time I’ve read The Prayer Box. It was more meaningful this time around as I am further along in my journey in knowing my Lord and Savior. I hope you enjoy getting to know both Iola and Tandi.
