Love stories are for the young, he's decided, and Sam Mayer is most certainly not young. He's building a new life for himself, after cancer and divorce chewed up and spit out his old one. It's called 'middle age' for a reason and that's because it is not the time to start something new... or is it?

Sam has recently recovered from cancer and a divorce, while Annie is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and a breakup. They have been friends for years but kept at a distance, but now that they are both single maybe the timing is just right. Although they are no longer spring chickens, can their love still blossom and grow or will it wither before the seeds are fully planted?

Favorite Quotes:
… seeing himself in the altogether, but for a pair of knit boxers, Sam saw his father from the neck down. Between the months being sedentary during treatment, and his depression over the breakup of his marriage, his life seemed to have settled around his middle and also seemed determined to stay there.
… a different person emerges from the quagmire of illness. Kind of like a butterfly, Sam mused. The caterpillar pretty much disintegrates before turning into a butterfly. Completely ...more

I purchased this book in a local indie bookstore!
I love the story line completely! Sam thinks the love is just not in the deck of cards for him. Until he meets Annie. They have loved and been hurt. They have battled their demons and their illnesses. It seems fate has given them another chance to find that special someone. I love that the story shows what happens in real life. This is not your average love story or romantic fairytale. It's real and the characters have depth.

I really loved this story, I mean really, really loved this story. The only issue I had was I would get confused on who was speaking and need to go back and re-read the conversation. I had to do this a lot. It kept the story from being a smooth read. I think this might have been more of a formatting issue. Maybe it’s just me.
