Description
Hennie Comfort is eighty-six and has lived in the mountains of Middle Swan, Colorado, since before it was Colorado. Nit Spindle is just seventeen and newly married. She and her husband have moved to the high country in search of work. It's 1936, and the Depression has ravaged the country; Nit and her husband have suffered greatly. Hennie notices the young woman loitering near the old sign outside her house that promises "Prayers For Sale." Hennie doesn't sell prayers—never has—but there's something about the young woman that she is drawn to. The harsh conditions of life that each has endured create an instant bond, and an unlikely friendship is formed, in which the deepest of hardships are shared and the darkest of secrets are confessed.
Sandra Dallas has created an unforgettable tale of a friendship between two women, with surprising twists and turns, and ultimately a revelation of the finest parts of the human spirit.
