Foreign correspondent Richard Brady arrives in Africa on a strict assignment to document the nationalist insurgency that has taken hold of a once-beautiful country. Arriving on the ground with few leads, he is soon courted by people on both sides of the fight.

Of particular interest to Richard is Patience, a young township teacher with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. But his conscience is tested when he discovers that Patience is helping to smuggle boys across the border and recruiting her students to join the guerrilla army.

Seduced by both Patience and the African landscape, but with the dangers of war growing ever closer, Richard's future begins to look increasingly uncertain. In a country shadowed by civil war, can true love conquer all? Love in a Lost Land is a timeless love story, set against a turbulent backdrop of war, betrayal, and the fight for freedom.
