One quiet winter night, when she was already sleeping, she was awakened by a cry of anguish and the sound of footsteps entering her room. She looked up and saw her Jewish friends, whose faces reflected fear. The Germans are downstairs--they said. Corrie, with a leap, got out of bed.
When the German Nazis occupied Holland, Corrie ten Boom risked everything she had to extend a loving hand to her Jewish neighbors. She built a perfect hiding place in the wall of her room. She had the courage to keep this place a secret despite the great suffering it caused her family. In the darkness, her sacrifice, compassion, and forgiveness were a testament that made the light of God's love shine upon evil. This beautiful story of unconditional love will be a living example for young readers.
