Author Craig Taylor presents a moving new memoir that captures an extraordinary true love story shaped by distance, determination, travel, and hope. Centred on his relationship with Olya, the book follows one man’s unexpected journey from personal hardship to a life changing romance that crosses countries, time zones, and complex immigration challenges.
After facing serious health issues, divorce, career uncertainty, and the emotional weight of starting again later in life, Craig believed his future had already settled into a familiar shape. Then a simple online message introduced him to Olya. At first, Craig thought she lived nearby in Scotland, but he soon discovered she was five time zones away in Russia.
What follows is a heartfelt and often humorous account of two people trying to build a future together despite distance, paperwork, travel complications, health concerns, and long periods of waiting. From Scotland to Türkiye, Georgia, Istanbul, and Russia, Craig and Olya’s journey becomes a story of love tested by real life and strengthened by commitment.
The memoir blends romance, humour, travel, family, and emotional honesty. Craig writes openly about the fear of separation, the stress of visa applications, the chaos of airports, and the tenderness of ordinary moments shared with the person he loves. Through every challenge, the story carries a clear message: love can still arrive unexpectedly, and when it does, it can give life a new direction.
Craig Taylor’s book will appeal to readers who enjoy true stories of mature love, second chances, resilience, and relationships tested by distance. It is a reminder that life can still offer meaningful new beginnings after illness, heartbreak, and uncertainty.
With warmth, humour, and sincerity, Craig’s memoir invites readers into a deeply personal journey about choosing love, holding on to hope, and fighting for a future that matters.
