Synopsis "The Prayer Box"

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.

Lisa Wingate was born in Germany in 1965, though she grew up in Oklahoma, United States, where she studied English and Communications. After working for a few years as a journalist, she now dedicates herself to giving lectures and writing. She lives in the Ouachita Mountains of southwest Arkansas with her husband and children.

Her passion for writing manifested at a very young age and, thanks to the support of one of her teachers, Wingate continued to bring her stories to life in the hope that one day someone would read them.

In 2001, she published her first book, Tending Roses, which has been followed by more than twenty highly successful novels in the United States. For these, the author has received awards such as the Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize, the Oklahoma Book Award, the Christy Award, and the Carol Award, among many others.
