Shannon Tullius, Co-Founder & Director of the Maui Writers Conference In the classic storytelling style of "The Noticer" and "The Traveler s Gift," "New York Times" bestselling author Andy Andrews now 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. "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."
