An Evening With Lisa Wingate: Author of The Prayer Box
Lisa Wingate's novel The Prayer Box, set on Hatteras Island, was our number one best-selling title for two years straight. A second book, The Story Keeper, was an Appalachian set story in her Carolina series. With her third book- The Sea Keeper's Daughters- Lisa returns to an Outer Banks setting (Manteo!) and deftly ties the first two books together in a wonderful finale to the trilogy.
From modern-day Roanoke Island to the sweeping backdrop of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains and Roosevelt’s WPA folklore writers, past and present intertwine to create an unexpected destiny.
Restaurant owner Whitney Monroe is desperate to save her business from a hostile takeover. The inheritance of a decaying Gilded Age hotel on North Carolina’s Outer Banks may provide just the ray of hope she needs. But things at the Excelsior are more complicated than they seem. Whitney’s estranged stepfather is entrenched on the third floor, and the downstairs tenants are determined to save the historic building. Searching through years of stored family heirlooms may be Whitney’s only hope of quick cash, but will the discovery of an old necklace and a Depression-era love story change everything?
