INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 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.
