The Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate
From Lisa’s website we read, “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 changed 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 women passing through the seasons of an extraordinary, unsung life filled with journey’s of faith, observations on love, and one final lesson that could change everything for Tandi.”
Read with Joy as Tandi uncovers the story of a lifetime.
