In this story of romance, marriage and travel, Adam, a 41-year-old journalist, is making a trip to Israel with his new wife Elsee. His marriage to his first wife, Elaine, ended in a divorce which meant he sadly sees very little of his three children. When he was alone and looking for love, Adam was encouraged by friends to give up the dream of finding true love, for he was too old. This story tells how he ignored their negative advice and became happy, in a touching tale that seems to encapsulate the phrase 'it's never too late'.
