“I worry that I am falling for somebody who is a world away, whose heart is busy.” – Masha

In Matt and Masha’s world, love conquers all. The two first appear as opposites: Masha loves the ocean and Matt loves mountains. Masha loves home and Matt travels like a circus boy. Masha is Ukrainian and Matt is Métis. But they share an undeniable connection that binds them together for life.

First Métis Man of Odesa is a poignant tale told in tandem about an international love affair and the inevitable hardships that come with navigating relationships. This is a love that transcends continents, pandemics, life-changing emojis and war.
