Wrongly arrested, stigmatized for lifeHe had a calm and orderly life as a humble Friesian farmer in the nineteen fifties. A handful of cows, three young children, and a marriage of convenience he had learned to live with. Suddenly his life is turned upside down, when he is arrested and wrongly accused of sexual abuse of his six-year old neighbor girl. Once he has been picked up, the village community turns against him, and he becomes isolated.
It is his word against the girl's. The net closes around him even more when additional evidence is found. In the end his wife discovers the real culprit. But by then the damage to their relationship, as well as to his reputation in the small village community is irreversible. Emigration to America under a new name seems to be the only way to save their future. The question is, can he escape the shame that has come over him? Or is he stigmatized for life? And will the rest of the family ever hear what actually happened? A breathtaking novel about the harshness of a false accusation, that covers half a century, from the nineteen fifties until the beginning of this century.
Stigmatized; Caught in the American Dream was first published in Dutch in 2009 under the title "Getekend" (Stigmatized). Anita Witzier, Dutch TV-personality, about this novel:"A mesmerizing book, that captivates from the first page, and reads like a roller coaster."

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Judy Lohman

Judy (Junte and Diety) Lohman is a writers couple from Holland, active since 2007. Like the British couple Nicci French, they write literary thrillers, but also novels and travel books. Moreover they write columns and articles for several magazines and newspapers. They publish their eBooks on www.amazon.com, and also Dutch sites like www.ebook.nl and www.bol.com . Diety Lohman was born and raised in Friesland, the northern part of the Netherlands.
As a child she lived on a farm in this remote and sparsely populated area. She studied Economics (with honors) at the University of Amsterdam. After her studies she worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young and later on as a manager in the non-profit sector. Her motto?'Writing together? We should have started much earlier.'Junte Lohman was born as the son of a painter, and grew up in a small forester's cottage, together with his elder brother.
He studied sociology at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam and, as a Harkness Fellow, City Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In America he worked as a transportation planner. After returning to the Netherlands he became a partner at a Dutch management consulting firm and later on the director of a Charity Organization. His motto?'Writing is like sculpting with words and reminds me of my father's work as a painter.'The couple spends six months a year travelling in a nine meter long converted truck, thus finding peace and quiet, and inspiration to write their books.
Their first literary thriller "Project Eva", written in Dutch, was published by Archipel/Arbeiderspers in 2009. Since then they publish their books through Uitgeverij Logion
