In the Shadows of Love

About the Book

Many times in our lives we try to make sense of why God does the things he does. We ask him to reveal his plans to us, but he is silent, nowhere to be found. Set in the 1920’s, In the Shadows of Love is a faith-based story centered around Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (KJV). It’s the story of how God’s invisible hand never stops working, always shaping history for the good of his children, even when it doesn’t seem possible. Alina Foster lives a life of misery and despair from the moment she was brought into the world. Her mother died giving birth to her. Her father is hostile toward her, blaming her for his wife’s death. With no hopes of a brighter future, Alina trades one miserable life for another, enduring a long hard-filled life on the crime-ridden streets of Kirkville, a rural Midwestern town. After years of searching for purpose and meaning to her existence, God brings an extraordinary little gift into her life that changes the course of her destiny forever.

About the Author

Born in Oradea, Romania, Liviut Victor Sabadus immigrated with his parents to the United States when he was nine years old. They settled in the Detroit metro area, where he has lived all his life. After receiving his high school diploma, Victor enrolled in a community college where he acquired an associates degree in Business Management. He furthered his studies at William Tyndale College, a small christian college in Farmington Hills, Michigan, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a Minor in Christian Studies. Even though Victor was proud of his educational accomplishments, his true passion and desire had always been to work in the film industry, producing and writing Christian movies with a deep Biblical message. In 2007, he enrolled at a local film school, Motion Picture Institute of Michigan where he underwent a rigorous one year training program learning the ins and outs of film-making, graduating in September of 2008 with a concentration in directing. In the summer of 2010, Victor worked as an Extras Casting Assistant on The Double (2011), a full-length spy film directed by Michael Brandt, and starring Richard Gere and Topher Grace. Shortly thereafter, God called him to work on the biggest, most challenging, film project he has ever undertaken in his career. This two year project culminated into the script you now see before you. One of Victor's greatest regrets is not pursuing his divine calling in the film industry when God first called him. Nevertheless, the late entry in the field has not discouraged him, but rather motivated him to become a film producing professional in less time. If God wills, Victor's desire is to take In The Shadows of Love to the big screen, either on his own, or with the help of a production studio.
