They're captured and sent to the notorious Nazi concentration camps to die. Yet even in that darkest of places, Corrie still fights.This is her story--and the story of how faith, hope and love ultimately triumphed over unthinkable evil.

Still, several people told me how uplifting and surprisingly light Ten Boom's story w...
