Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas

Eighty-six-year old Hennie Comfort had almost forgotten about the battered wooden sign in her yard that advertised “prayers for sale” when a newcomer to Middle Swan, a gold-mining town in the Rockies, stopped to ask for help. Nit is a very young bride who recently lost her baby. She and her husband have come to town because an acquaintance found him a job there and in Depression-era America, that was reason to move.

Hennie helps Nit through her sorrow with stories about the town, her two marriages and the painful incident that brought her West after the Civil War. As they quilt together and become friends, Nit helps Hennie make a difficult decision – should she stay in the town she loves or move to Missouri to live with her daughter?

Dallas deftly combines colorful storytelling and historical detail with emotional truths. Fans of The Persian Pickle Club and Tallgrass will welcome her newest tale about strong women friends who pull together in hard times.
