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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorrie 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReminiscent of \u003cem\u003eSchindler's List\u003c\/em\u003e and featuring a journey of faith and forgiveness not unlike \u003cem\u003eUnbroken\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Watchmaker's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e is destined to become a classic work of World War II nonfiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Loftis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063234581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 84","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40797474455667,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_75b47b66-e345-43ad-b53d-9216c6459abf.jpg?v=1682000043","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-watchmakers-daughter-the-true-story-of-world-war-ii-heroine-corrie-ten-boom-9780063234581","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
