The Self-Employed Housewife - Book 1

This fictionalized story is of an immigrant from Holland to South Africa in the 70s. It is about the relationship between a young wife and mother to her husband, a seaman. Every chapter is of engaging, chatty dialogue between her, her two toddlers and the people she interacts with while starting her own leathercraft business from home. From being a desperately unhappy housewife who finds her true calling after healing her psychic wounds, this spiritual odyssey is as intensely pleasurable as it is enlightening. The book carries an uplifting message for any immigrant on how to survive as a new arrival in a country with no support base and minimal understanding of English.
