The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow is the story of an unusual woman, Agnes Sparrow. No longer able or willing to leave her home, where she is cared for by her long-suffering sister Griselda, Agnes has committed her life to the one thing she can do - besides eat. Agnes Sparrow prays, and when Agnes prays, things happen, including major miracles of the cancer- and ulcer-healing variety, along with various minor miracles, not the least of which are the recovery of lost objects and a prize-winning pumpkin. The rural residents of Bright's Pond are so enamored with Agnes they plan to have a sign erected on the interstate that reads, "Welcome to Bright's Pond, Home of Agnes Sparrow". This is something Agnes doesn't want and sends Griselda to fight city hall.

Griselda's petitions are shot down and the sign plans press forward until a stranger comes to town looking for his miracle from Agnes. The truth of Agnes's odd motivation comes out when the town reels after the murder of a beloved community member. How could Agnes allow such evil in their midst? Didn't she know? Well, the prayers of Agnes Sparrow have more to do with Agnes than God. Agnes has been praying to atone for a sin committed when she was a child. After some tense days, the townsfolk, Griselda, and Agnes decide they all need to find their way back to the true source of the miracles - God.

this was a very slow-moving book. I struggled to finish it. I like the authors other books but this one not so much.

don't think I'll listen to it again.

Well, not what I expected! I really enjoyed this audio recording. The narrator was wonderful. I loved all the details that the author included in the story, you felt like you were right there with the characters.
The subject is, IMO, very unusual. A 600 lb woman confines herself to her home and prays for people. Some people think that she can bring about miracles. Her sister has dedicated herself to taking care of her. There is not a lot of action, but there are a few surprises. This book was published in 2009 so it is an older book. I recommend it 👌.

This wasn't a bad story, just some uncomfortable parts. I know this is book 1 of a series but I'd hoped for a real resolution of the main characters major past dilemma.

This is mostly a light read but the story ending was unorganized and dark.
Wishing I would not have downloaded this book.

Bizarre

After listening to one of her other books I was so excited to start reading this book, but my enthusiasm turned and I was left with disappointment. I expected the humor and wittiness. The story was dragged out and I really had to force myself to finish it. It was just not what I expected after Harriet Beamer takes a bus

Super disappointed
