    About this ebook

    After World War 2 a small girl is torn from the life she knows. She struggles with her identity. She struggles to belong. Will she ever find peace within herself?
    In 1951 six-year-old Ellie is torn from her home in Holland by her mother Rita who wants to start a new life in New Zealand. As Ellie grows up her mother is reluctant to inform her about her past, which only adds to Ellie’s desire to know more about her roots and about her father. The relationship between her mother and her uncle Pieter is not what it seems either, and for Ellie, the truth remains elusive.
    Ellie is 22 when she makes the journey back to Holland as she is determined to discover more about her Dutch roots, much to her mother Rita's frustration, but the visit to her home country only disrupts her feelings of belonging even further when she uncovers additional facts about her past. Facts that Ellie could never have imagined.
    Of Dutch Descent, a moving family saga, seen through the eyes of a child of war. Set in the post World War 2 years when many emigrated to flee war-torn Europe.

    Caroline Muntjewerf, an author of fictional standalone novels, was born and raised in the Netherlands. She mostly worked as a care-worker in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Germany where she lived for several years. Around the turn of the century she started writing creatively after she'd kept travel journals while traveling / backpacking through quite a few countries where she met people from a variety of cultures and experienced their different countries. Back home in The Netherlands, she kept writing and working as an indie author. Apart from creating stories, she has written two screenplays as well, based on two of her books.
