Her first novel Soms sneeuwt het in april<\/em> (2022) tells the story of a girl growing up with the weight of her mother\u2019s war trauma on her shoulders. A moving and compelling story based on true events. In her second book December slaan we even over<\/em> (2023), Janneke reports on touching and instructive encounters in a hospice. About what people in their final phase of life can teach us about existence. Her third book Een vorm van troost<\/em> (2025) was published by De Geitepers.
