. .

Résumé :
If you've given up on love or know someone who has, this inspiring and amusing book is guaranteed to get you out of the doldrums and put a smile in your heart -- even if you're under 40 (read it first, then give it to your mom!) or in your 50s, 60s, 70s or well beyond. It's never too late for love, and this insightful, encouraging, and relatable collection of very honest stories reveals how couples - both normal and famous -- found the most fulfilling love of their lives in midlife and even into their 90s. The book, a #1 International Amazon Best Seller and one of IndieReader's Best Reviewed Books, offers hope that anyone can find love in their own time, and in their own way, at any age. Although the book doesn't offer a formula, it guides readers to their own conclusions about how to find love. Some people even feel the book is talking directly to them.
Finding Love After 40 shares dozens of stories from people of various religious/spiritual and sexual orientation, including a Christian woman who maintained a policy of strict abstinence until she married at 40, a gay man who married his soulmate in his 50s, a woman in her late 60s who has been in a fulfilling polyamorous relationship for more than 15 years, a straight Jewish couple who met on line and bonded over shared background as well as religion, and a church-going couple who fell in love when she was 84 and he was 90.
In witnessing the simple yet profound wisdom within real stories of ordinary people who wake up every morning next to the love of their life, the author hopes you'll gain the belief that love is possible, no matter your foibles, past missteps, or what you may view as regrettable decisions. And if you're already in a fulfilling relationship, she hopes you will enjoy reading other people's love stories and smile, because you already know that it's never too late to enjoy the magic of love.
