Maybe it’s the treasure hunter in me, but this story had me hooked after reading the book flap. “While digging up a withering wax myrtle tree beside his waterfront home on the Gulf Coast, author Andy Andrews unearths a rusted metal container filled with Nazi artifacts and begins an intriguing investigation that unlocks an unspoken past that took place in his backyard….literally.”
Talk about a great premise for a book falling into your lap, and the best part is that this is a true story. What Andy discovers while researching these artifacts and speaking with local townsfolk is astonishing. Truly a beautiful story of love, hate, healing and the hurts that forgiveness can overcome. I highly recommend this book and believe it has something to offer to everyone that reads it.
“Can natural enemies make peace? Actually . . . can they fall in love?

So —- True story! I just got this book from the library and I loved it! I want to read his other books too. I did a random search for christian books and this book surfaced. It was great and held my interest — I could not put it down for long and read it in a day or two (Yes, I ignored some house stuff, but it is always there waiting for me). The ending will touch your heart!
