Descubre una de las historias de valor y sacrificio más inspiradoras y poco conocidas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Corrie ten Boom, una relojera holandesa, transformó desinteresadamente su hogar en un escondite para albergar a judíos durante las feroces redadas de la Gestapo. Aunque los nazis sospechaban lo que Corrie y su familia hacían, nunca pudieron encontrar a quienes se ocultaban en la casa. Como consecuencia de su postura frente a los nazis, perdió a buena parte de su familia, pero eso no impidió que Corrie enfrentara con determinación los obstáculos más terribles de la guerra, manteniéndose fiel a sus creencias y siendo un ejemplo de amor en medio de la adversidad. La hija del relojero revela los momentos cruciales que moldearon la vida de Corrie y la llevaron a convertirse en un símbolo de esperanza y perdón. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERWinner of the Florida Book Awards Gold Medal The master of nonfictionspy 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.
