The Heart Mender Book Review

I have been blessed lately with receiving and reading some great historical fiction novels! The Heart Mender is one of those! Read on to see why!

The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews is a unique blend of historical fact and engaging fiction showing the power of forgiveness.

In 1942, German subs are dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico to sink U.S. vessels carrying goods and fuel. While taking a late-night walk, Helen Mason—widowed by war—discovers the near-lifeless body of a German sailor. Enraged at the site of Josef Landermann's uniform, Helen is prepared to leave him to die when an unusual phrase, faintly uttered, changes her mind.

In The Heart Mender, a small town must prepare itself for the worst the world has to offer, and Josef and Helen must reconcile their pasts to create a future.

My Opinion

This book was so interesting! The author, Andy Andrews, even kind of hints at the fact that this story is true! It really enlightened me to some interesting historical facts from World War II and how there were German submarines right here in U.S. waters! That was so interesting!

I, of course, really like the romance part too! What a crazy way to meet someone - finding a German on your shores! What a scary, crazy, and memorable experience!

I recommend The Heart Mender for all you historical fiction and romance book lovers! This book will not let you down and it will have you on the edge of your seat and will open your eyes to historical facts you never knew before at the same time!
