The True Meaning of Love by Danielle Steel — a powerful, deeply moving novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author about ordinary people whose lives are forever changed by war.
February 24 is the eighteenth birthday of Ukrainian ballet student Vlad. It is also the day the first bombs of the 2022 Russian invasion fall on his homeland. In an instant, everything is upended. Vlad is called to serve, yet his greatest urgency is to get his girlfriend Tatyanna — an orphan whose only home has been the ballet school — to safety.
As the country comes under siege, Tatyanna attempts the dangerous journey toward Poland. Around her, other lives are equally transformed: a young mother torn between protecting her children and staying with her husband and aging parents; a dedicated doctor who refuses to abandon her patients even as hospitals are targeted; families forced to make impossible choices in the face of chaos.
Through the interwoven stories of Vlad, Tatyanna, Yulya, Symon, Sasha, and others, Danielle Steel paints an intimate portrait of courage, sacrifice, and the bonds that endure when the world falls apart. In the darkest of circumstances, ordinary people discover extraordinary strength — and the true meaning of love.
Emotional, timely, and profoundly human, this is Danielle Steel at her most compelling.
