Interpretation During Books The Prayer Box (Carolina Heirlooms #1)

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 for Tandi.

Critique Appertaining To Books The Prayer Box (Carolina Heirlooms #1)

The top three words that come to mind upon finishing this book? Beautiful, beautiful and ... beautiful.OK, that was one word, but one so true about this story that it deserved to be repeated three times.With a gift for crafting a story that digs into how a person's past can shape their view of themselves and of hope itself, Lisa Wingate never disappoints to deliver a first-class novel. The Prayer Box is just that sort of book. Through Tandi's eyes, we experience the life of a very real woman,

Every page of this novel amazed and moved me, often also prompting just a wee bit of envy that so much talent should reside in one single writer.With fresh prose and evocative word pictures, Lisa Wingate moves her readers into the life of Tandi Reese, a single mom with a troubled past who hovers on the brink of changefor better or worse. Tandis quest to solve the mystery of Iola Anne Pooles life becomes the readers own. And Tandis journey of discovery through Iolas left-behind letters to God

I am not free with five-star reviews. But when a novel leaves me teary-eyed and feeling a step closer to heaven there is nothing to do but hurry out and tell the world HERE is a book worth your time. I love stories that let me come along as characters who are at rock bottom slowly find their way back into the light. Add in a wonderful, old house in need of saving and I'm almost guaranteed to be a fan. But Lisa gave me so much more than a lovely story and rich characters--she gave me her heart.

I found this to be a surprisingly good, very inspiring read!(Don't have time right now, but I'll try to write more of a review later.)

Meh. Got 80 pages in and this is the plot in a nutshell.33 year old single mom, running from a past, has bad taste in men, screws up life, God and good people around her help her get on the right road, HEA, the end.I'm not big on "women's fiction" where it takes the MC almost 300 pages to realize she left a bad situation and just ran back into the same dam thing, hurting her kids in the process. I don't like realism like that is THAT real, followed by a fluffy happy ending. Two stars. It's not

This book took some time for me to get into but once I did, it was amazing.Tandi was a wounded woman who had recently broken free to become independent. At first I found myself upset with her because I expected more from her as a mother. But as the story went on, I discovered the root of her vulnerabilitythis was her first time being independent and she was trying to find her footing. She eventually grew into a strong, admirable woman, beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I applaud
