About The Book
When Ian McSporran travelled to Montreal for the 1976 Olympic Games, he unexpectedly met his soulmate, Gerda. Within four years, he emigrated from England to Canada. Over the decades, they had three children and built a fulfilling life together.
After thirty- seven happy years of marriage, Gerda received the devastating news that she had terminal cancer. Ian and his family were now faced with taking an unwelcome journey through the valley of the shadow of death, but what followed was a transcendental period for the couple. Through their grief they discovered new depths to their love, finding treasures hidden in dark places. As they shared their love for each other they also found a deeper devotion to their Heavenly Father, and a great sense of peace in the process.
"Yellow a love story" is an epic tale of love, loss, faith, and hope, inspiring those facing life's challenges to find meaning where it may have previously seemed impossible.
I loved you then, I love you still, I always have, I always will.
