*************************************************************

Doll shares the journey of two people who belong to the opposite side of a dime. It explores the conscience of humans steeped in guilt and the struggle for liberation. This is the story of a man who grows up with unconditional love and of a man who is reborn by getting to know him.

Blurb:
Tragedies change the way Luuk and Jona lead their lives. Luuk grows up with unconditional love, whereas Jona has to pay for it his whole life. On a perfectly ordinary afternoon, an embarrassing accident happens, and everything that they once held true is turned upside down. Luuk calls it fate, Jona calls it a miracle. But however they see it, the nudge in their ordinary lives subjects them to a linguistics expedition deep in the Amazon jungle for five months. There, they learn more than just a new language. They learn that life can turn on a dime, and no power but God can change a misanthrope into a sentimentalist, or a doll into a human being.

Along their journey, Luuk sees that love is not as pleasing as he thought, and Jona sees that love is not as hideous as he knew it.
