Praise for At Home in Holland:
"The Netherlands is host to nearly 30 international organizations. The American Women's Club of The Hague has provided the best guide for employees of these organizations to move to and integrate into Dutch society. I have found it personally useful during my more than 20 years as a member of an international organization."
- The Honorable Charles N. Brower, Judge of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal
"The ultimate guide to what it's called, where it's found and how it works, this book is a must for newcomers to the Netherlands. I only wish I had known about it when I arrived - it would have spared me a great deal of frustration!"
- Pat Thurman, Estata Makelaar
