His life spanned half the globe. From the tiny, low-lying country of the Netherlands, Johannes took his family across the ocean, looking for a land of better possibilities for a young family man wanting bigger things. He was almost dead before he had the chance to live. He was talented, but his creativity was quashed by a stepmother who ruthlessly tried to erase his mother's memories. He wanted to become an artist, but he became a pastry chef when it was time to choose a career, because in his world, it was the only profession where he could exercise the urge to be creative. After a devastating war that left his country in ruins, he bundled up his family and moved to Canada, but discovered that struggles were his lot, no matter which country he took himself to. Funny, ambitious, creative, and flawed, Johannes struggled to find his footing through the turbulent relationships with his wife and children, and did his best with the norms and tastes of a new world. At last, instead of becoming a pastry chef and chocolatier, Johannes became an ordinary baker. A story of "sins of the father", love, strife and forgiveness.
