HTML:<p>At twelve years old, Amelia Forrest has a lot to pray for: improving her poor grades, mending a strained relationship with her mama, and, most importantly, absolving her guilt over the role she played in her daddy's plane crash. Except that in the year since he died, Amelia has stopped believing in anything. Not prayer. Not miracles. And certainly not the crackpot visions of an ex-convict named Brother Mustard Seed who suddenly appeared at their door claiming to have contact with her daddy. So when Mama invites him to live with them, it stirs up all sorts of trouble—as well as a deep sorrow that Amelia thought she had put to rest. By turns sassy, and lyrical, and wise, Pray Hard is exceptional storytelling from an original new voice.</p>. Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2015-08-06 14:05:11.
