Growing up is never easy. Neither is growing old.

Having spent decades building a life she loved, Cilla Prescott watched it all come crashing down when her beloved husband passed and her best friend of nearly forty years turned away without explanation. Now, alone, bitter, and lonely, seventy-something Cilla hopes this isn’t how it all ends.

Two houses down, Cilla’s best friend-turned-worst-enemy is feeling much the same, but not for the reasons people think. The eccentric Nattie Dennings won’t let anyone near, scaring neighborhood children and adults alike whenever someone ventures too close and taking every opportunity to convince the world she’s crazy.

During the summer of 1985, with their feud at fever pitch and having earned the title of the “Two Nastiest Old Bats in Town,” things come to a head for Cilla, Nattie, and their exasperated Maple Street neighbors when an accident threatens one of their own. Can two former best friends look beyond the hurt and anger to forgive and move on before time runs out, or will they drive everyone crazy until the bitter end?

In What Heals the Heart, emotions run deep as grief, forgiveness, and the unbreakable ties of nearly lifelong friendship collide in a poignant tale of second chances. This emotionally charged story captivates with its blend of relatable characters, small-town kerfuffles, and, at times, laugh-out-loud humor demonstrating that even the deepest wounds can be healed.
