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.
