Book Chat: The Prayer Box

You are invited to join us for great conversation over coffee and snacks as we discuss the book, The Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate. Books can be purchased online or borrowed from your local library.

Book Description:

When Iola Anne Poole, an old-timer on Hatteras Island, passes away the struggling young mother in her rental cottage, Tandi Jo Reese, finds herself charged with the task of cleaning out Iola's Victorian house. Running from a messy 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 - the hopes and wishes, fears and thoughts of an unassuming but complex woman passing through the seasons of life.  The Prayer Box explores themes of forgiveness and new beginnings and shares one final lesson that could change everything.
