In the spirit of The Traveler's Gift and The Lost Choice, Andy now delivers a tale of war, faith, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Island of Saints provides a much-needed message about the single most engaging quality of the human condition - the power of forgiveness. It is "storytelling for our time" - filling a void for those of us who are hungry for renewal of spirit - who have forgotten what life is really about.

The Story...
On a summer night in 1942, Lieutenant Josef Bartels Landermann slips unseen into the dark waters of the Gulf of Mexico after being shot from the conning tower of the U-166, a surfaced German submarine. Several hours later, Helen Mason, a beautiful young woman, recently embittered by the death of her husband in the war, finds Landermann's near-lifeless body while taking a late-night walk along the shore. Enraged by the German sailor's uniform, Helen is prepared to leave the wounded man to die when an unusual phrase, faintly uttered, changes her mind. Set in a period simmering with anger and hate, Island of Saints offers a startlingly simple yet profoundly practical solution for healing the world. Blending his unique style of historical accuracy with unparalleled storytelling, Andy Andrews illuminates a timeless truth taught by saints and sages for millennia.
