Why You Should Read "The Heart Mender" - A Story of Second Chances
by Colleen Soehnlein
Andy Andrews brings together historical fact (Andy tells you the people, places, and dates are all based on real life events) and fascinating fiction in "The Heart Mender". There is something in the book for every reader: mystery, tragedies, war, a love story. I loved this book!
The story begins in the present day near his waterfront home on the Gulf coast, where a tree has died. Andy Andrews takes on the task of removal with ax and shovel. While digging up the stump Andy unearths a rusted metal can containing some very intriguing items. At first he is unsure of their origin, but thanks to the power of the internet, he soon identifies the artifacts as Nazi in origin and the story begins with research that unlocks a silent past.
Follow the mystery to 1942, as our country gears up for a full-scale commitment to World War II, German submarines are sent to the Gulf of Mexico to sink U. S. ships carrying goods and fuel. Helen Mason, a widow by war, stumbles upon the body of a German soldier. All of the emotion of her past is thrust upon her in this moment - enraged by the site of Josef Landerman's uniform, Helen is prepared to leave him to die when an unusual phrase, barely audible, changes her mind.
Set in a small rural town in a period simmering with anger and distrust "The Heart Mender" allows us a glimpse into a small town preparing itself for the worst the world has thrust upon its' shores. While cargo from torpedoed ships washes ashore, Josef and Helen must reconcile their pasts to create a future.
I don't want to give too much away. "The Heart Mender" is a moving story about how forgiveness can lead you to second chances. After listening to this book, the story has stayed with me. I often think of Helen and Josef - I am thankful for their story.
This story was originally released as "Island of Saints". I enjoyed that book immensely but always wondered where fact and fiction began and ended... In the newly release book Andy Andrews has included a Reader's Guide and a Where are They Now? section. Was that tree waiting for Andy to come along so that its' treasure could be unearthed and the story told? Let me know what you think after you read or listen to, either way enjoyed, "The Heart Mender".
