When nine-year-old Lizzie Anderson arrives at Cloud Lake Lodge in the summer of 1956 after a terrible loss, she carries more grief than a child should bear.
Beyond the lodge's longest trail lives Sarah Dodd, a reclusive woman haunted by a tragedy that shattered her world twenty years earlier. Drawn together by mystery, loneliness, and loss, Lizzie and Sarah form an unexpected bond that begins to heal them both. But when danger on the mountain brings them face-to-face, each must find the courage to reach for hope again. Told through Lizzie's innocent voice and Sarah's mature reflections, A Prayer for Sarah is a gentle, deeply moving novella about grief, courage, faith, and the mysterious ways God brings people together at exactly the right moment.
