About the Book

Chris Janssen was born and raised in Harlingen, Friesland, as far north as one can go in the Netherlands, where he specialized in still photography on a level approaching those attained by Ansel Adams, Yusef Karsh, and Anton Corgyn. He graduated from the University of Amsterdam and with his bride, Maria, moved to San Francisco where he expanded his professional reach throughout California. They became habitués of Mammoth Mountain where Maria fell off her horse and was so seriously injured that attending nurse Cartwright tried to prevent her from leaving prematurely for Santa Barbara and she dies along the way in Bakersfield. In deep sorrow Chris returns to retrieve his automobile, only to question the legitimacy of Jane Cartwright as being the child of her father and the mother of her father's child. To legitimize her existence he marries her and sends her daughter, Felicity, to Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara to become an expert photographer. The marriage turns into a deeply full filling association, punctuated by annual travel interludes to marvelous places. Tragically, she dies in a massive snow storm on her way home, breaking Chris' heart. Felicity persuades him to marry her to complete their business partnership. Chris is seduced by Camila in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival, on her fancy float and their relationship deepens to where Chris takes her to Santa Barbara to study drama at UCSB. She transfers to USC to graduate in theater arts for motion picture production under the tutelage of Chris' old friend, Wilson. Without inhibition, she gives birth annually to four gifted children causing Chris to move the family to the Monterrey peninsula and produces her first Oscar winning movie in Maputo, Mozambique. Her next movie, set in southern Chile, yields an additional award and prepares her for a major award in São Paulo for saving young middle to upper class women from drug addiction by having them join her in a major effort to convert large numbers of young women to sobriety. This venture wins major international accolades. Subsequently Chris makes a prize winning movie entitled "From Africa with Love", in Cape Town, South Africa, featuring Sue, a beautiful woman of color. In order not to be left behind, Sue's daughter, Cindy, with the help of Wilson, begins making prize winning movies and following Camilla's example, bears Chris additional children. They pull together to help Camila make a final movie with Brazil's top motion picture producer, Roberto Marinho, who knew Chris from previous discussions. Out of this is born "Swan Song" Camila's crowning glory. Well into his eighties, Chris expires while walking on the beach, leaving behind a legacy of color-blind motion picture achievements. His son, Edward, was well into taking over responsibility for the creative group he left behind. The persons most saddened by his passing were Cindy and her mother, Sue, who loved him without reservation.
