The power of connection

If Only Love, by Canadian author and filmmaker Shelley Saywell is an epic, achingly beautiful true love story that will keep you in its thrall from the very first paragraph. At the heart of Saywell’s memoir is a great love found and lost in youth only to be unexpectedly rekindled decades later. I literally could not put this book down. And I so didn’t want it to end.

What if your first love found you again after thirty years? Does chemistry survive time and space?

IF ONLY LOVE by award-winning filmmaker Shelley Saywell is a breathtaking second chance love story, a memoir of reunion and heartbreak, and a testament to what endures when everything else falls away.

Set across oceans and decades, this luminous memoir asks if love can truly endure what life throws at it, and how one message sent from afar can change everything.

“Saywell’s poignant, hauntingly beautiful memoir takes us on an epic journey of resilience and regret that will at once break your heart and give you hope in the enduring power and endless possibility of love.”
