I have just recently been given the chance to review books by Thomas Nelson Publishers. The first book sent to me was The Heart Mender: A Story of Second Chances by Andy Andrews. The writer of the book finds a can filled with German paraphernalia under a tree in his back yard. He then goes on to weave a story of bitterness, love, and forgiveness as he delves into the true story behind it all.
He tells the story of a young woman named Helen Mason who is devastated by the loss of her husband in World War II. Bitter and angry, she detests Nazi Germany. Amidst her bitter anguish, Josef Launderman, Lt. of a German U-boat, washes to shore. He is wounded and bleeding, and his helpless situation prompts Helen to give him refuge, hiding his existence and whereabouts from the rest of the world. She is faced with many concerns, one of which, does this make her a trader to her own country?
If you enjoy World War II history, then I recommend reading The Heart Mender. Not only is it filled with history of the War, but it also brings with it a story that is close to home, a story of love and forgiveness.
