"You are about to read a love story. Love has been a subject of innumerable novels, poems, plays. So how can a writer add anything original to this kaleidoscope? Nothing is new under the moon, as we well know. And yet, each one of us is unique, and similarly, each love story is inimitable. So here is a story, a love tale developing at the backdrop of history."

Love Child is a war-time love story.

The year is 1944. The Soviet Army liberates Vilnius, Lithuania, and there Lana meets Marek, a gregarious, charismatic, and fearless Soviet government official who is smuggling Jews to Palestine.

Lana, a young courageous surgeon, is saving lives at a military hospital that has followed the Soviet Army since the war broke out.

Marek and Lana are deeply in love. They are soulmates who think their love will overcome all the obstacles.

Marek rejects the idea of living under the Soviet regime. Risking incarceration or execution for his anti-Soviet activities, he flees the Soviet Union at the first opportunity.

Lana is a Soviet patriot. She is pregnant with Marek's baby but will not leave her country or her orphaned young siblings, and she refuses to give up her passionate pursuit of becoming a licensed doctor.
