Hilda van Stockum’s The Winged Watchman is an edge-of-your-seat adventure story that paints a vibrant but challenging picture of WWII life for Dutch families in German-occupied Holland. The story is full of hope, joy, fortitude, a celebration of life, trust in the Almighty, and a good helping of resistance and sabotage. Based on a collection of true events that happened to van Stockum’s Dutch family during the war, the main story centers on 2 brothers (10 and 14) and allows us to view the sacrifices and suffering of occupation through the eyes of children.
To help you enter into the story: we have a book review posted here and we interviewed author Hilda van Stockum’s son, John Tepper Marlin, here.
