A life traced through prayer boxes

On Hatteras Island, Tandi Jo Reese is tasked with clearing the home of Iola Anne Poole, an elderly woman whose life has ended at ninety-one. In the house, Tandi discovers eighty-one decorated prayer boxes, each holding scraps of writing from a different year of Iola’s life. Their contents reveal Iola’s hopes, fears, reflections on love, and journey of faith, while Tandi is herself trying to move beyond a dangerous past. The novel connects these two women’s stories through themes of faith, past mistakes, and redemption, with a touch of romance. Discussion questions are included for book clubs.

"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.
