It was 1942, and Theodora, a charming Dutch/Indonesian teenager, was uprooted from her pampered East Indies upbringing and forced to live in one of many desperate, disease-infested concentration camps set up by the occupying Japanese army. A few years later, her life was plunged into danger again from the angry Indonesian nationalists on the hunt for anyone with Dutch blood. Arriving in The Netherlands, her “mother country,” Theodora thought she had found safe haven, but was to face an epic deluge when the North Sea burst through the existing dams and flooded her quaint Dutch village.          A prisoner, refugee, immigrant, and survivor, Theodora’s story is one of faith, forgiveness and reconciliation. You will witness an untold chapter in history as you are inspired by one amazing woman’s testimony of grit and grace.  

A charming and heartwarming true story for anyone who has ever longed for a place to belong. "e;Anne of Green Gables,"e; My Daughter, and Me is a witty romp through the classic novel; a visit to the magical shores of Prince Edward Island; and a poignant personal tale of love, faith, and loss.And it all started with a simple question: "e;What's an orphan?"e; The words from her adopted daughter, Phoebe, during a bedtime reading of Anne of Green Gables stopped Lorilee Craker in her tracks. How could Lorilee, who grew up not knowing her own birth parents, answer Phoebe's question when she had wrestled all her life with feeling orphaned-and learned too well that not every story has a happy ending?So Lorilee set off on a quest to find answers in the pages of the very book that started it all, determined to discover-and teach her daughter-what home, family, and belonging really mean. If you loved the poignancy of Orphan Train and the humor of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, you will be captivated by "e;Anne of Green Gables,"e; My Daughter, and Me. It's a beautiful memoir that deftly braids three lost girls' stories together, speaks straight to the heart of the orphan in us all, and shows us the way home at last.
