The Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate
4.0
A beautifully poignant story THE PRAYER BOX by Lisa Wingate, with a past from one wrong man to another and a controlling one she managed to escape from, as she makes her way to the Outer Banks. (would recommend reading “The Seaglass Sisters- a novella), prior to “The Prayer Box”.
Tandi has no job and no means to support herself and her children and she is trying desperately to start over. She has escaped taking pills to drown her problems from Texas and wants to be a good mother and be a better person.
She managed to find a guest cottage and then the landlord (an elderly woman-Iola Anne – so inspiring and so want her to be my grandmother) dies. Tandi agrees to help clean the house in trade for living in the cottage.
However, Tandi finds letters which began to change her life. The letters give her a glimpse into a world where people share and give without expecting anything in return. She learns about this incredible woman and how her presence affected so many in the town.
She begins to find strangers who become friends, opening their hearts and their lives to her. She has to break her old habits and connections and love unconditionally and allow people into her world, who have her best interest at heart.
This was my first book by Lisa and look forward to reading more! I listened to the audible version and Xe Sands (one of my favorites) was excellent in her performance as was ideal for the older lady and the younger woman voices.
I love the multi-generations of wisdom and the beautiful words which were portrayed through the letters and prayers of the past as a guide to the future.
A book of forgiveness, grace, second chances, and wisdom.
