SANDRA DALLAS IS RETURNING!!

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Sandra Dallas came to An Open Book last August…and it was truly a wonderful, joyful experience…meeting Sandra and listening to her journey as one of Colorado’s best fiction and non-fiction writers. She made us laugh, we learned about her journey from a reporter to an author, and we all felt that we made a new friend.

With the publication of her new novel, Prayers for Sale, Sandra has graciously accepted our invitation to visit with us again.

Once again, it will be an “event” with reservations available for 40. Complimentary refreshments…and all of Sandra’s books will be available that evening. Call now for reservations.

Mark your calendar now for: Friday, April 24th…5 to 7PM. Her new book can be reserved now by calling us (330-7879) or stopping by.

PRAYERSPRAYERS FOR SALE, by Sandra Dallas (4-14-2009)

In her charming new novel, Dallas (The Persian Pickle Club, Tallgrass, etc.) offers up the unconventional friendship between Hennie Comfort, a natural storyteller entering the twilight of her life, and Nit Spindle, a nave young newlywed, forged in the isolated mining town of Middle Swan, Colo., in 1936. When the two meet, Hennie recognizes her younger self in Nit, and she’s immediately struck with a desire to nurture and guide Nit, who is lonely and adrift in her new hometown and her brand-new marriage. As Hennie regales Nit with stories and advice, the two become inseparable and pass several seasons huddled around their quilting with the other women of Middle Swan. Even though Hennie maintains an air of c’est la vie as she unravels her life story, Nit and the reader soon realize there are tragedies and secrets hidden behind Hennie’s tranquil demeanor. This satisfying novel will immediately draw readers into Hennie and Nit’s lives, and the unexpected twists will keep them hooked through to the bittersweet denouement.
