"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.

    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.

  • Great book with well developed characters. Prayers are powerful.

    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.

    Easy reading. Interesting characters. Look forward to the development of these people in the remainder of the series. The Outer Banks = a Bucket List item for sure.

    Truly a story to uplift the spirit! We never fully know how everyday encounters and small acts of kindness can change the course of someone’s life.

    This book was incredible! The history it shared as well as the wonderful characters kept this a page turner for me! It has romance, suspense and keeps you wanting more as you read though this story. The content of each prayer box was a chapter in a wonderful woman's life. I may consider starting a prayer box of my own!

    This was a wonderfully, encouraging book of hope and restoration of a broken relationship between a mother and her children. Realizing that the storms of life can't break us, if we allow God to direct us through the storms! Wonderful!!!
