For the Love of My Children
A Novel of Devotion, Betrayal, and the Unyielding Power of Paternal Love
By Steven Kay | Published by DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C.
 
In the heart of post-divorce Europe, For the Love of My Children unfolds as a gripping and emotionally charged novel that explores the sacred bond between a father and his daughters—and the devastating consequences of a love caught in the crossfire of bitterness and bureaucracy.
Tom, a devoted father, chooses to remain in the Czech Republic for three additional years following his separation, determined to stay close to his daughters, Mary and Lucie. His decision, rooted in love and sacrifice, sets the stage for a harrowing journey through emotional warfare, legal entanglements, and the unraveling of trust.
 
Martina, his ex-wife, presents a public image of cooperation and concern, yet behind closed doors, she orchestrates a relentless campaign to sever Tom’s connection to their children. Her actions—manipulative, obsessive, and often cruel—threaten to destroy the very foundation of the family. As Tom fights to preserve his role as a father, he faces not only Martina’s hostility but also a bureaucratic system that seems designed to marginalize him.
 
Despite the mounting pressure, Tom remains steadfast. He pours his heart into every moment with his daughters, creating memories that shimmer with warmth and resilience. Holidays, shared laughter, and quiet conversations become lifelines in a storm of conflict. But even love has its limits, and when the system turns against him, Tom is forced to make the most painful decision of all: to leave.
 
The aftermath is heartbreaking. Mary and Lucie struggle with the emotional fallout of their father’s absence, while Martina continues to restrict contact and rewrite the narrative. Yet the bond between father and daughters proves unbreakable—enduring through silence, distance, and pain.
As the truth begins to surface, even Martina’s parents recognize the depth of Tom’s character and the damage their daughter has inflicted. What emerges is a portrait of a man whose love defies circumstance, and of children whose hearts remain tethered to the one who never stopped fighting for them.
 
For the Love of My Children is a novel that transcends genre—blending romance, memoir, and psychological drama into a story that is both timeless and timely. Steven Kay’s cinematic storytelling and emotional precision bring this tale to life with raw honesty and lyrical grace.
