About the Book

The transformational story of one woman's care and compassion: When Mary Lou Quinlan's beloved mother, Mary Finlayson, dies, her family is bereft--until Mary Lou finds her mother's "God Box," or rather, boxes. These simple containers are stuffed with tiny notes written by Mary, praying for everything from the right flooring for her daughter's new home to a cure for her own blood cancer. Mary's petitions for friends, family, and even strangers are presented with love and without expectation--the ultimate expressions of letting go. Note by note, Mary Lou unearths insights into her mother's compassion, faith, and perseverance. And through the journey, she discovers her own more empathetic, more engaged self--the woman her mother had believed in all along.
Ideal as a gift book: Poignantly written and beautifully designed, "The God Box" is a gift for every mother, every daughter, every human being who, regardless of faith, trusts in the permanence of love and the power of family.
Author is a renowned expert on women's issues: Mary Lou Quinlan is the author of three books and multiple features in women's magazines and other media. She is developing "The God Box" concept as a play, a mobile application, and an online.
