[MP3-CD audiobook format in Vinyl case.] [Read by Xe Sands] A young woman, an old woman, and the story of a lifetime… 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, dating 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.

In 1974, the young and callow Englishman George Armitage goes to Madras in the hopes of returning with his Ph.D. dissertation. Instead, he comes home with a bride named Viji, an Indian woman he barely knows. This seemingly unlikely pair wind up in Sacramento, where they buy a ranch house and give birth to triplets.In this new American world of shag carpets and pudding pops, Viji seeks consolation in her prayer room, which she visits frequently to gossip, sass, and seek advice from the framed portraits of her dead relatives. It is here where Viji feels most herself, where she immerses herself in the comforts of home, and where these deceased family members feel "as real to her as she'd been to them."A hilarious and heartfelt debut, The Prayer Room re-examines the meaning of family - the people who live down the hall, the people who exist only in our memories, and the people who roll their eyes at you from within their picture frames.
