Prayers for Sale » (Bargain)

Sandra Dallas is the author of seven novels, including The Persian Pickle Club and New Mercies. She is a former Denver bureau chief for BusinessWeek magazine and lives in Denver, Colorado.

A powerful novel of the secrets women keep and the lies they tell to survive life in a small, nineteenth-century Colorado mining town.

The Washington Post - Caroline Preston

Despite its flaws…Prayers for Sale is as bighearted as Hennie herself, who hands out stout winter coats to miners' wives, saying they're hand-me-downs when, in fact, they're brand-new, ordered in secret from the Sears catalogue.
