Aching for a life of accomplishment and respect, she resolves to escape her dad's fate of early death, the stigma of his mixed Slavic-German heritage, and the poverty that followed him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA headstrong girl, she refuses to be exploited as a housemaid for a wealthy family - the only choice for girls like her. She loses her job when the master of the house tries to rape her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith nothing to lose, she accepts a job as the concession shop operator with the railroad. On the first day of work, she sets up shop (and home) in an empty passenger railcar and meets Hendrik, a Dutchman, and the construction superintendent. Head over heels, they marry when Johanna becomes pregnant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt doesn't take long before the first babies arrive and continue arriving: within three years, Johanna delivers five children. The couple buys a farm with their savings in Hendrik's hometown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Johanna's real test of loyalty starts when the Nazis invade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781592113767\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johanna van Zanten","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45290254598394,"sku":"9781592113767","price":16.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1707503651948_book.jpg?v=1707661133","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-imposter-9781592113767","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
