Together, they survived World War II and have created a life of joy and community, welcoming like-minded Dutch, Indonesian, and mixed-race couples into their home each weekend.

This enriching and relevant story speaks to the reality and struggle of immigrants who leave their homeland for a new culture, with the dream of acceptance and belonging.
Reviews:
“This beautiful novella will sweep you back in time to encounter a couple whose love beats all the odds to foster hope and life in their marriage. The perfect read for these times to remind us that seasons of struggling are temporary and love will see us through.
I love not just the vibrant visuals, but how all of my senses were engaged reading this. Somehow, in these few pages, I fell in love with and related to people from different countries who speak different languages who live in a different time and are meeting adversity I’ll never face; yet, I felt a connection and a joy to get to know these characters.
