Synopsis "The American Dream: From Poverty to Prosperity The Story of the de Jong Family"
Funny and at times tragic. Follow along their journey, as the large and loving de Jong family run their dairy milk farm in Alphen a/d Ryn, Holland, through the depression, World War II and the post war economic collapse. This is the true story of how they persevered and showed their resilience through adversity while their ever growing family struggled through the obstacles of the depression and German occupation of Holland during World War II. Arie Sr. utilized the Black Market to feed and care for his large family, wanting his children to have the opportunity for success by living in America. Everyone in the family worked as a unit to save every penny to pay for their sea voyage and immigration to America, where they built a dairy empire. Reviews: Well, I read the book and can safely say it has become a masterpiece! Beautifully written!!! Pieter VI have now read the biography of the de Jong family. I think Claudia has done an excellent job of chronicling the family and its trials and tribulations. One element of the book that makes it highly readable is the many family anecdotes, both amusing and tragic. Lyle Davis, Editor, The PaperWhat a great surprise. Such a great-well written legacy to be had by future generations. Jim and Ellen LoessbergThe American Dream, what a wonderful book. Their story is indeed the American Dream come true.
