Produktbeschreibung

Françoise Maricle was born two months prematurely in a Japanese internment camp in Indonesia during World War II. After the war, she and her family left the tropics they loved so much to return to cold, damp, and overcrowded Netherlands; not welcomed by the European Dutch. Françoise knew that she needed to find peace and tranquility somehow, somewhere, when she met her husband in Germany and later immigrated to the United States, which brought her happiness and gratitude. While counseling women in abusive situations, Françoise found that she needed to share her story to be able to connect with them. After hearing what she had endured they were much more willing to work on their own problems.

Autorenporträt

Françoise Maricle was born two months premature in a Japanese internment camp in Indonesia during World War II. After the war, her family left the tropics they loved to return to a cold, overcrowded Netherlands, where they were met with indifference by the European Dutch. Seeking peace and belonging, Françoise eventually met her husband in Germany and later immigrated to the United States-where she found gratitude and healing.As a counselor supporting women in abusive relationships, Françoise discovered that sharing her own story created powerful connections. When women heard what she had endured, they became more open to facing their own challenges.Over time, she began speaking publicly about her life and was interviewed on both public radio and television. Writing her memoir took fifteen years, as long-buried emotions emerged in the process.Françoise now lives in Arizona, where the wide-open skies and warm climate offer the sense of freedom and peace she always longed for.
