From the enchanting and humorous mind of author Jen Telger comes the charmingly nostalgic and quirky town of Pullman Station. Join Annabelle Walker and her neighborhood friends as they navigate the perils of her unfortunate house placement between the two nastiest old bats in town. Welcome to Pullman Station! Spending her golden years alone, lonely, and bitter hadn't been Cilla Prescott's plan. Though life had dealt her lemons as a young girl, she'd swapped them for sweet oranges and built a life she loved with her husband, Marlon, their children, and their best friends, Jack and Nattie Dennings. That is, until seven years ago when Marlon and Jack passed in quick succession, and the two women descended into a bitter feud. Everyone in the town of Pullman Station had expected the two women to become closer than ever when their husbands passed, but with their anger burning hot and no end in sight, they instead earned a reputation as the two nastiest old bats in town, sending bystanders running and neighbors ducking for cover. Eleven-year-old Annabelle Walker and her family live in the house between the seventy-something former best friends. While Annabelle's mother stresses the importance of one's Christian duty via kindness to all, maintaining peace as arrows fly overhead becomes increasingly difficult. As for Annabelle and her neighborhood friends, they avoid both women, Cilla's dog, and Nattie's starter pistol at all costs. As the summer of 1985 heats up, secrets are discovered, and a tragic accident shakes the neighborhood to its core. With few others left to care, will Cilla and Nattie be able to reconcile their differences to forgive and find healing before time runs out, or will they drive the entire neighborhood crazy to the bitter end? What Heals the Heart is Jen Telger's delightful bestselling debut novel and the first book in the Pullman Station Series. A beautiful coming-of-age story blending the adventures of small-town neighborhood kids with the golden years antics of two former best friends as they struggle to move beyond a fight with roots reaching back nearly seventy years.

Autorenporträt
Jen Telger is a writer and avid people-watcher who loves to figure out what makes people tick. She believes the beauty of writing lies in her stories expanding exponentially as readers make them their own, finding solace, inspiration, familiarity, and new adventures in which to play.Having grown up in the small Midwestern town of Winona, MN, she has a keen eye for quirky characters, what makes a town a community, and the you-won't-believe-this quality of stories that happen when residents upset the local apple cart. In her Best Seller and #1 New Release debut novel, What Heals the Heart, readers are treated to the down-home realism of small-town life that Telger experienced growing up in the mid-80s. The nostalgic free-range days of yesteryear that just can't be found anymore come alive on her pages. In Sticks and Stones, Book Two of the Pullman Station Series, she invites you to discover just what it is that makes these people who they are. Telger currently resides outside of Madison, WI, with her hubby, two children, and two miniature Schnauzers. When she's not working on the next installment of life in Pullman Station, she can be found puttering in her gardens, playing with her cameras, designing homes, browsing bookstores, creating fantastic worlds in Minecraft, and drinking way too much chocolate milk (a.k.a. Elixir of Life). She is available for Book Clubs, podcasts, interviews, and event talks.
