Johanna Francis, Fields of Orange: A True Welsh Love Story (Aberystwyth: Ylofa, 2022)

 Herman Dooyeweerd's daughter, Johanna (Hanny), married a Welsh man and wrote a book about her life:

ISBN: 9781800991460

It is a fascinating read - she married Bob Francis, a Welsh farmer, and lived in near poverty as a farmer's wife in Wales.

It has one or two photographs of Dooyeweerd.

This one shows Dooyeweerd on his one visit to Wales in the Welsh hills looking down on the farm owned by Bob and Johanna.
