The Miracle-Child and the Monster

"Uncle, are you a monster?" – sounds a strange, yet childishly naive question in a noisy café. This blonde little girl asks a man whose face is marked by frightening scars. But the girl sees neither fear nor threat in him — only a desire to help resonates in her eyes. With a businesslike demeanor, the little one, who believes so much in fairy tales, gives advice: "You should be kissed by a beauty." Thus begins the magical story of how a child's innocence and belief in miracles pave the way to true love. For Elena, Marinka's mother, this accidentally encountered "monster" becomes the very man. Dim Dima's scars hide not only external wounds but also internal ones; however, the love that arose thanks to the little girl is capable of healing them all. "The Miracle-Child and the Monster" is a novel about how sometimes it is the wisdom and courage of children that open the hearts of adults. It is a story of love, where behind rough scars hide the tenderest feelings, and miracles happen where you least expect them.
