Imagine the joy of discovering your late mother's most secret and personal prayers, covering decades of her life, scribbled on folded scraps of paper, and tucked gently into her God Box.
After her mother passed away, Mary Lou went searching for the God Box. But rather than one box, Quinlan found 10 containers stuffed with hundreds of origami-like folded papers. Covering the last 20 years of her mother's life, the notes contained a treasure of brief prayers for family, friends and people she had never even met. Note by note, Quinlan discovered the greatest lesson her mother could impart: the importance of letting go in order to live.
Poignantly written and beautifully designed, The God Box is a gift for every parent, every son or daughter, every person who trusts in the permanence of love and the power of prayer. 128 pages
Amazed by the unexpected success of her memoir The God Box, author Mary Lou Quinlan has found a new purpose in life: to pass on the inspirational example of her mother's simple faith. This journey has led Quinlan to travel the United States performing her one-act play, which is based on her book.
