The Prayer Box, by Lisa Wingate, is part of A Carolina Heriloom novel series. Tandi Jo Reese has fled her abusive husband in Texas with her 2 children to settle in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a town of her childhood. She is very low on funds and rents a guesthouse from an elderly lady. Her landlady, Iola Anne Poole, passes away and leaves her home to the church. A gentleman from the church asks Tandi to clean out Iola’s home. While cleaning out the house, Tandi finds out a lot about Iola. The generosity Iola had toward others and her prayers that were written down and kept in boxes. Tandi has not always made the best decisions and it affects her children. Tandi and her daughter are both involved with guys who are not good for them, and her son is often left to himself. Through reading Iola’s prayers and meeting people through her son and her new job, she changes into a more responsible adult.
The first part of the book was slow moving, I very rarely stop reading a book. And I am glad I kept reading this one. Once the story line was established and and characters introduced, it became a good book to read. Had it not been for the Iola’s part in this book, I would not have enjoyed it. Her devotion to God and her anonymous gifts to those in need it heartwarming.
