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.
