Book Cover & Preview Text
An excerpt from Chapter 11, an e-mail from Joan to John:
"Everything you said filled me with that sense of total belief that you and I belong together and that our union holds all the joys and satisfaction that anyone can ever hope for. I promise you that it will continue to be my purpose in life to make you happy and keep you happy. WE are going to have a lot of togetherness to make up for the all the years we have missed. The deep love and passion that we feel for each other now astounds me. I had no idea that this could happen to people our age. Maybe we are extraordinary, but I hope there are others who can experience the same kind of joy in being together at this stage of life. It is miraculous to me.

About the Book
To tell this most-unusual love story about two seventy-five year-olds, author John Sager retrieves more than 200 e-mails which he and Jo-an shared in the six months leading up to their wedding, shown in this photo. He had been in love with her since the first grade; she had never imagined such a thing. Not long after she “gets it,” she falls in love with him. Soon enough, they slip away in his motor home to a quiet Pacific Ocean beach to talk about the “M” word.
Their electronic exchanges, taken verbatim from the original texts, tell of a growing love story of intriguing proportions: infrequent face-to-face get-togethers, owing to his peculiar work assignment for the CIA, the power of prayer in their daily lives, a bit of office intrigue and, eventually, a wedding under a palm tree beneath Diamond Head in Honolulu. Then five years of incomparable wedded bliss.
It is a beautiful story, told as the two lovers wrote it, and sure to warm the hearts of seniors everywhere, and of the not-so-old as well: Keep the fires of love burning and never give in to the notion that it is too late!
