Lost Prayers of Ricky Graves, The

The Lost Prayers of Ricky Graves is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking novel that delves into the lives of those affected by a tragic event.

Through raw, poignant narratives and emails, the book unravels the mystery of a life in all its glory - despair, regret, humor, wonder, courage, and connection.

The story follows Ricky's sister, Alyssa, as she returns to confront her shattered mother and her guilt over the brother she left adrift; Mark McVitry, the lone survivor of the deadly outburst sparked by his own cruelty, who is tormented by visions of Ricky's vengeful spirit; Corky Meeks, Ricky's surrogate older brother, as he grapples with doubts about the fragile boy he tried to protect but may have doomed instead; and Jeremy Little, who inadvertently became Ricky's long-distance Internet crush despite never having met.

Through their shared search for meaning and redemption, they find a common purpose: learning to trust their feelings, fighting for real intimacy in a world grown selfish and insincere, and fearlessly embracing all that matters most...before it's gone from their lives.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful and thought-provoking novel that will leave you questioning your own life and relationships.
