From the Heart

Two women from different walks of life meet up in London.

One who is divorced and nearing her 60s, starts over in a new country, away from the States, with a new career. The other in her 40s, a policewoman who is nonchalant about love after falling in and out of love.

Both women think that they are “over the hill” and have got used to just living their lives. They have a chance encounter and find they are instantly attracted to one another. Going through the “will they, won’t they” when it comes to staying together.

A heart-warming and heartfelt story. A realistic love story that is emotionally charged. A love story that knows no bounds – sexuality, colour, or age. We all carry baggage and it’s how we adapt and fit another person into our lives once we fall in love.

Loving anyone requires faith that the person won’t crush your heart. It’s very painful. It requires hope, optimism, and living in the moment. No one is bound to us. They come and go on free will. The very fact that they chose us out of free will to be with us is wonderful! We too have free will to learn, grow and love without being chained down with promises. We don’t know what the future holds!
