Beschreibung

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Winner of the Florida Book Awards Gold Medal New York Times bestselling author and master of nonfiction spy thrillers Larry Loftis delivers a gripping Holocaust rescue story with 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, as part of the Dutch Resistance, 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 this powerful story of faith and forgiveness 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 inspirational World War II nonfiction. How does a family of watchmakers defy an empire, and what does it take to forgive the unforgivable? An Unlikely WWII Heroine: Discover the story of Corrie ten Boom, a humble Dutch watchmaker who, guided by her faith, risked everything to shelter hundreds of Jews from the Nazis. A Real-Life Spy Thriller: Experience the tension as the ten Boom family transforms their home into a secret hiding place, complete with a hidden room and a network of allies, constantly outsmarting the Gestapo. Survival Against All Odds: Follow Corrie into the darkness of a notorious concentration camp, where the loss of her family tests her faith and her will to live in the face of unimaginable cruelty. The Power of Forgiveness: Witness the book's most profound lesson as Corrie, having survived the horrors of war, confronts her former captors and chooses to forgive, living out her life as a global Christian missionary.
