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.
