In the face of the greatest evil, the cruelest dictator, a few brave men and women dared to resist. One of them was a German pastor and theologian. His name was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. To the Nazis, he was a traitor. To the 21st century church, he is a hero.
To Maria von Wedemeyer, he was simply Dietrich—the man she loved.
Based on detailed historical research, this is a true love story at once beautiful and heartrending. My Dearest Dietrich sheds new light on a world-famous theologian . . . and the woman who changed his life.

Yes, the novel is based on the true-life love story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Maria von Wedemeyer. Dietrich was engaged to Maria during the final three years of his life–before he was executed for his role in the conspiracy against Hitler. There’s a volume of their love letters that I relied heavily upon for research, as well as lots of biographies. It’s truly beautiful and heartrending to read about their commitment to each other, and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to tell their story! <3
Congratulations, Amanda! What a fabulous sounding story!
