description: 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.
