In the classic storytelling style of The Noticer and The Traveler's Gift, New York Times best-selling 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.

I loved this book because it taught me a history lesson, it showed me true love and reasons to forgive. Another title, where it became informative to details not shared to the American public and a loss of lives before we were officially in the war. I was shocked when I finished chapter two. A damn shame too! A title for all to read and be astounded at the historical facts and a real story about a man and a woman who fell in love during a tragedy. Both had lost and both had everything to gainWhat a delightful true story! I was astounded that I had never heard of German U-boats in the Gulf. We had some Germans come ashore here, in Ponte Vedra Beach, and they were captured, and I believe killed. The dose of forgiveness in the book was a little heavy, but heartfelt and certainly worthy. Andrews' passage about the downfall of democracies was VERY eerie, and I thought so applicable to where our country is today. I was "blown away" by it. I highly recommend this book to all!
This is the craziest, most unlikely true story you will ever read!!!😳. Entire book is fascinating and the audiobook is very well done. What other secrets are buried in the gulf?? A couple of words here and there, otherwise very clean. Many history facts I never knew, and to think these people are still living today! Just wow...😲 I also enjoyed the storyline of forgiveness and how the Downs syndrome boy was so caring.❤
I started this book by Andy Andrews on my 46th birthday. My friend took me to lunch and I asked her to swing by the library to pick it up. I read the subtitle to her: A Story of the One Principle That Frees the Human Spirit. Do tell! I responded with sarcasm. While that statement is a tall glass of water, it delivers a thirst-quenching story of forgiveness. Andrews writes, "Where is it written that for one person to forgive another, the offender has to approve it, accept it, or even know about
This was a good, quick beach readparticularly if the beach you are on happens to be Alabamas Gulf Coast. I wasnt familiar with the author, but I wanted to read this as soon as I learned the setting/subject matter. Set in the Foley/Gulf Shores area in the 1940s, the plot centers on the presence of German U-Boats in American waterswhich is also the topic covered in one of my all-time favorite non-fiction books, The Shadow Divers.The plot is entertaining, and it is fun to try to imagine that
I actually listened to this book and really enjoyed it. I LOVED the author's reading voice. It made it all the more enjoyable hearing this story. A sad story but yet endearing.
The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews presents two compelling and engaging stories. The first story, which consists of parts 1 and 3 of the book, tells the story of Andrews discovery of World War II German U-Boat artifacts in his Gulf Coast yard and his own personal journey to uncover the origins of how these items got into his yard. The second story details the ramification of a chance encounter between Josef a German submariner who becomes separated from his German U-Boat while patrolling the Gulf
