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。
