SynopsisCorrie ten Boom and her family owned a Haarlem watch shop and lived a quiet life. Then came 1940. The Nazis occupied the Netherlands, and Jewish citizens began to disappear. The ten Booms, devout Christians, joined the Dutch Resistance and built a secret room in their house to hide Jews and refugees. The Gestapo applied unrelenting pressure on Haarlem, and the ten Booms were ultimately arrested in the winter of 1944. Before long, Corrie and her sister wee sent to the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp. In the face of the horrors around her, Corrie found solace in her faith, and she ministered to the other prisoners. Miraculously, she survived, though she lost many loved ones, including her father and sister. Corrie's journey, though, was only beginning. She eschewed bitterness, embraced forgiveness, and spent her life traveling the globe as an evangelist, sharing her story of faith, hope, and love. Fresh with details from primary sources and Corrie's own archives, The Watchmaker's Daughter provides an incredible portrait of a humble woman who rose to the occasion with grace, courage, and faith., INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Winner of the Florida Book Awards Gold Medal New York Times bestselling author and master of nonfiction spy thrillers Larry Loftis writes the first major biography of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch watchmaker who saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during WWII--at the cost of losing her family and being sent to a concentration camp, only to survive, forgive her captors, and live the rest of her life as a Christian missionary. The Watchmaker's Daughter is one of the greatest stories of World War II that readers haven't heard: the remarkable and inspiring life story of Corrie ten Boom--a groundbreaking, female Dutch watchmaker, whose family unselfishly transformed their house into a hiding place straight out of a spy novel to shelter Jews and refugees from the Nazis during Gestapo raids. Even though the Nazis knew what the ten Booms were up to, they were never able to find those sheltered within the house when they raided it. Corrie stopped at nothing to face down the evils of her time and overcame unbelievable obstacles and odds. She persevered despite the loss of most of her family and relied on her faith to survive the horrors of a notorious concentration camp. But even more remarkable than her heroism and survival was Corrie's attitude when she was released. Miraculously, she was able to eschew bitterness and embrace forgiveness as she ministered to people in need around the globe. Corrie's ability to forgive is just one of the myriad lessons that her life story holds for readers today. Reminiscent of Schindler's List and featuring a journey of faith and forgiveness not unlike Unbroken, The Watchmaker's Daughter is destined to become a classic work of World War II nonfiction.
