A touching new book called Secret Shame tells the gut-wrenching story of a Dutch-American family living through major changes in America. Set in northeastern Wisconsin, the story begins in the early 1900s and follows the lives of Hendrik and Johanna, two young people raised in a strong faith-based community. As the years go by, they face the Great Depression, World War II, and the many struggles of building a new life in a changing world.

Hendrik and Johanna were raised with strong Dutch traditions and deep Christian faith. But as America changed around them, they had to find a way to honor their roots while stepping into a new world. Their story takes readers through heartbreak, war, and tough choices-but also through moments of love, courage, and unshakable faith. As they fall in love and build a life together, they face each twist and turn with strength and grace. Together, they raise their daughter, Mary Ellen, while learning how to hold on to the past without losing sight of the future.

Secret Shame shows what it means to hold on to faith when times get tough. Bible verses are included in a natural way, adding comfort and meaning to the story. The characters feel real and relatable, and many readers will see parts of their own families in them. The story covers the pain of war, the strength of a mother during hard times, and the quiet, personal battles that people don't always talk about.

Readers are already saying how much the book moved them. Many reviews say they couldn't put it down, and some even cried while reading it. Others say it made them think about their own family history and how faith can carry people through anything. For those who love historical fiction, Christian stories, or stories about strong families, this book is a perfect reading partner.

"Secret Shame" is written in a warm, easy-to-read style that works for teens and adults alike. The author has done a great job bringing history to life and showing how strong people can be even when life is hard. While the story is about one Dutch-American family, the themes of love, loss, and healing are something everyone can relate to.

The book is now available in paperback and eBook on Amazon and other online bookstores. It's a great pick for book clubs, church groups, or anyone looking for a heartfelt story full of faith and hope. For review copies, interviews, or media questions, please contact:
