April

My story revolves around a seventeen years old girl, April, from an upper middle class suburb of New York City. She moves to Slovakia, while she is in forth month of pregnancy, as her parents don’t want her to become a single mother, destroying her upcoming life and reputation of the whole family. The plan, invented by her mother, is to bear the child in Slovakia, leave it in the hospital, then come back home to the States cleansed from her sin, continue her studies, live according to presbyterian principles and later found her own family. But everything gets more complicated, when she falls in love to a young medic Lukas (25) in Slovakia. (excerpt)
