Produktbeschreibung
The Dekkers are a Dutch family transplanted from the Netherlands into the maturing culture of the Dutch East Indies, and the country transforms them - as they help influence the country. Pieter Dekker is a man of courage and influence in his career of Chief Commissioner of Police for Batavia (later, Jakarta), the headquarters of all 17,000 islands in the verdant Dutch-ruled nation. His eldest daughter, Diny Dekker, a tenacious, optimistic girl, matures during a revolutionary time. Her coming-of-age blossoms during the Second World War while in the Netherlands. The War shatters the Dekker family, separating them, but their hearts and spirits remain united. Diny faces the death of loved ones, and places her trust in God. Her story weaves the narrative of a life no longer at peace, and she must decide whether or not to return to the Indies. Can she find the paradise she once experienced? As much as the social atmosphere of the Dutch East Indies swirls and changes in Diny's lifetime, so too do her own personal attitudes about life and love. As she navigates three continents, Diny's faith, forgiveness, and desire for redemption will have the reader cheering for her each step of the way. This is the story of challenges and triumphs of a family traversing the 1930s and beyond, a tale of survival, hope, and redemption.
