Finding love is all a matter of timing in a surprising, complicated,
and funny memoir by the author of A Marriage in Dog Years.
When a mysterious woman summons Nancy Balbirer to a Russian restaurant
in New York City, the near stranger's shocking purple hair and even more
shocking news send Balbirer simultaneously reeling back to her past and
hurtling toward a future that, at almost fifty years old, she never
dreamed possible. This romantic-comedy memoir tells the true story of
how a pack of Hollywood television writers and the denizens of a fabled
but cursed Manhattan apartment building helped the author and one of her
best friends turn a thirty-two-year almost romance into a real one.
Witty and heartfelt, Nancy Balbirer's sublime memoir proves that love is
possible anywhere, anytime, and at any age.
