Shadows of the Beatles: A Transatlantic Memoir of Love

By Gary Morrison and Valerie Morrison

What if the music you loved led you to the love of your life?Shadows of the Beatles is a cinematic true-life memoir that spans decades, continents, and soundtracks. When Gary, a musician from Yorkshire, and Val, a Beatles fan from Chicago, meet on a Paul McCartney forum, their connection is immediate-but what they soon discover is extraordinary.From childhood record players to ghost stories, pirate radio, and family secrets, they trace the uncanny parallels of their lives: seaside holidays in 1960s England, Cold War Berlin, JFK's assassination, even brushes with fame-from Johnny Depp and Mike Skill to King George and possibly Paul McCartney himself.Their paths had crossed in memory, place, and music-long before they ever met. And now, united by melody and fate, they must uncover the full song of their lives together.Told through intertwining chapters, original Beatles-era photography online, and set to a companion album of songs they wrote for one another, Shadows of the Beatles is more than a memoir. It's a love letter to the power of music, the thrill of vinyl, and the timelessness of true love.Part romance, part musical odyssey, part Cold War mystery-this is a story with a backbeat.
