At one time Corrie ten Boom (1892 - 1983) would have laughed at the idea that there would ever be a story to tell. For the first fifty years of her life nothing at all out of the ordinary had ever happened to her. She was an old-maid watchmaker living contentedly with her spinster sister and their elderly father in the tiny Dutch house over their shop. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. However, with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, a story did ensue. As they watched the lights of freedom go out all over Europe, they were motivated by love to become leaders in the Dutch Underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. They were caught - and Corrie was the only one who survived the horrors of Ravensbrück. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
