Just
when Tandi Jo Reese has found a safe place for herself and her
children, her landlord, Iola Anne Poole, passes away. Desperate to
find income and stay in the rental cottage, Tandi agrees to clean out
Iola's home. To Tandi's surprise, she finds beautifully decorated
prayer boxes that contain prayers and a life story. She finds
unexpected connection with the author of the prayers and healing
begins to take root. Read more in The Prayer Box
by Lisa Wingate.
Once again, my book club has introduced
me to an amazing book that wasn't even on my radar. It's one of the
best books I've read this year. The novel held my attention from the
beginning, was well-written, and progressed at the perfect pace. I
was intrigued by the prayer boxes and the characters pulled me in,
making me wish they were real. Tandi's character development was
phenomenal. I loved watching her grow, change, and open her heart to
the right people. Prayer is a prominent theme in the novel, but there
were other secondary themes about grace, empowerment, and helping
others.
The Prayer Box
by Lisa Wingate is the first full-length novel in the Carolina
Heirlooms series. It has a prequel novella, The
Sea Glass Sisters, and
a postlude novella, The Tidewater Sisters,
which appears to continue Tandi's story. Neither of these are
required to understand and enjoy The Prayer Box.
I highly recommend The Prayer Box
to anyone who enjoys inspirational fiction.
