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 just
moved to the high country in search of work. It's 1936 and the
depression has ravaged the country and Nit and her husband have
suffered greatly. Hennie notices the young woman loitering near the
old sign outside of her house that promises "Prayers For Sale."
Hennie doesn't sell prayers, never has, but there's something about
the young woman that she's drawn to. The harsh conditions of life
that each have endured create an instant bond and an unlikely
friendship is formed, one 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, one with surprising twists and turns, and one
that is ultimately a revelation of the finest parts of the human
spirit.
