Southern novelist and radio host River Jordan makes a foray into non-fiction with her inspiring memoir, Praying for Strangers: An Adventure of the Human Spirit (Berkley, hardcover, $24.95, releases 4/5).
As 2009 approached, New Year's resolutions were the last thing on River Jordan's mind. Her sons were both about to go off to war--one to Iraq and the other to Afghanistan--and she was planning a family reunion to see them off. All River could do was pray for her sons' safety and hope to maintain her strenght, until she unexpectedly came upon the perfect New Year's resolution--one that focused on others instead of herself. She would pray for a complete stranger every single day of the year.

In Praying for Strangers, River Jordan tells of her amazing personal journey of uncovering the needs of the human heart as she prayed her way through the year for people she had never met before. The discovery that Jordan made along the journey was not simply that her prayers touched the lives of these strangers (in often astounding ways), but that the unexpected connections she made with other people would be a profound experience that would change her own life forever.

River Jordan is a critically acclaimed author of four novels. A Southerner with a global perspective, she began her writing career as a playwright and spent over ten years with the Loblolly Theatre group, where her original works were produced. Ms. Jordan teaches and speaks around the country on "The Power of Story", and produces and hosts Clearstory Radio on WRFN, 107.1fm Nashville.

When not traveling the back roads of America, River lives with her husband, Owen Hicks, and their Great Pyrennees lap dog, Titan, in Nashville, Tennessee. Praying for Strangers is her first work of narrative non-fiction.
