Can natural enemies make peace? Actually…can they fall in love? The Heart Mender  is a story of life, loss, and reconciliation, reminding us of the power of forgiveness and the universal healing experience of letting go. In his classic storytelling style,  New York Times  best-selling author Andy Andrews delivers an adventure set sharply against the warm waters and white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in WWII America. Saddened and unable to abandon her resentment toward the Nazi war machine that took her husband’s life, the young and attractive Helen Mason is living a bitter, lonely existence. Betrayed and left for dead, German U-boat officer Lt. Josef Landermann washes ashore in a sleepy town along the northern gulf coast, looking to Helen for survival.
