The List Keeper

Some prayers are answered before we even know to ask.

Violet Reeves has always lived by her lists. They keep her organized, focused, and safe from the unpredictability of life. But when her beloved grandmother passes away, Violet inherits more than memories—she discovers a worn prayer journal filled with decades of faithful prayers.

Inside, a list titled "Things I Prayed For Violet" contains 52 items. Forty-nine are checked off.

Three A man who makes her laugh The courage to chase her dreams
A place to call home

Determined to honor her grandmother's legacy, Violet creates a plan to check off these final prayers herself. Because that's what she does—she makes lists, she executes plans, she stays in control.

Enter Micah Torres.

The new children's pastor is everything Violet is spontaneous, disorganized, and cheerfully chaotic. When he loses his keys (again), forgets a meeting (again), and accidentally creates a glitter explosion in the church, Violet reluctantly agrees to become his "life coach."

But as Micah helps her find courage to open the bookstore she's always dreamed of, and Violet helps him bring order to his beautiful chaos, something unexpected happens. He makes her laugh—truly laugh—for the first time since her grief began. And slowly, she realizes that home isn't a place she needs to find.

It might be a person she's already found.

What Violet doesn't know is that her grandmother met Micah months before she died. That she'd already checked off all three prayers. That she'd prayed one final "Help my stubborn granddaughter see it."

The List Keeper is a heartwarming story about faith, answered prayers, and discovering that sometimes God's plans are better than our own—even when they include glitter incidents, midnight diners, and falling for someone who turns your perfectly organized life beautifully upside down.
