Can natural enemies make peace? Actually…can they fall in love? In his classic storytelling style, New York Times bestselling 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, 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.

As you uncover the incredible story within The Heart Mender, you'll learn:

  • The transformative power of forgiveness
  • How to embrace God's gift of grace
  • The healing experience of letting go

The Heart Mender is a can't-miss story of life, loss, and reconciliation that will change your perspective for the better.

I read this book years ago when it was named "Island of Saints". I enjoyed it then and bought several copies to give as gifts. I downloaded it on Audible this time and was delighted that Andy Andrews, himself, was the reader. I loved it even more and realized I had actually forgotten so much from my previous reading. The book is wholesome and dear and makes me long for a simpler time in our history. The plot is interesting and the characters were great and full of personality. I will continue to buy this book as gifts. We all need to understand the principle of forgiveness and this book teaches it in a practical non-preachy manner.

What a great story!

When I first started listening I was tempted to quit but I am very glad I didn’t. This is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever listened to. The narrator (also the author) did a wonderful job with the accents and made the characters seem alive and visual. I recommend this book to all.

Riveting!!!

This talked about an aspect of WW2 that I wasn't aware of: uboats in the Gulf of Mexico. It put a face on a very not well known part of the war. The story was fascinating and told very well.

Mesmerizing book

I loved this book. Knowing it’s a true story adds to its impact. I wasn’t aware that there were German submarines off the American coasts during WWII. This book is about one of those ships in the Gulf of Mexico off Alabama’s shore. It’s about loss, second chances, forgiveness, and friendship.

I heartily recommend The Heart Mender. Our book club listened to the Audible version, read by the author. Some of his accents weren’t really good, but his gift as a storyteller more than made up for it.
