This novel evokes powerful emotions as it celebrates the liberation of the Netherlands by the Canadians while, at the same time, exploring the plight of children when their family members perished before their eyes. Who was left to care for these destitute children? Can you imagine hiding within the walls of a house, in some cases for years at a time? The Other Side of Liberation shares a view of the liberation of the Netherlands as recounted by a young Dutch boy in his later years. He and his family immigrated to Canada and spent decades trying to find the Canadian soldier who they billeted for a short time in 1945. They found Clifford in Saskatchewan and remained lifelong friends.

Speaking & Signing The Fehrs: Four Centuries of Mennonite Migration (Winco Publishing)
This book documents the dramatic events in the lives of fifteen generations of Fehrs/DeFehrs. Their history can be traced back to the 16th-century Amsterdam grain merchant Gijsbert de Veer. The story is based on archival and secondary sources, and runs parallel to what ten thousands of their Mennonite brethren have experienced through time.
It is a story about heretics, martyrs, grain merchants and brandy distillers; about pioneers, farmers and industrialists. It is also about tradition and change, inflexibility and adaptation, sorrow and hope and above all about an endless search for salvation.
Arlette Kouwenhoven is a Dutch anthropologist working as a publisher and writer. From 2007 she made trips to Poland, Ukraine, Canada and Mexico documenting the history of the conservative line of the Fehr family. The book was published in Dutch in 2011 and is at its fourth printing.
