2009 book 131

Sandra Dallas' Prayers for Sale
I've read and enjoyed a couple of Dallas' earlier novels (Tallgrass and Buster Midnight's Cafe) and was glad to see she had a new one out. Unfortunately, it veers way too much into heartwarming/women's fiction territory for my taste, as an elderly woman in 1930s Colorado tells her life story to the new young housewife in town. The ending was supposed to be surprising but I mostly thought it was completely unbelievable. B-.
