I'm writing a book about people who fall in love when they are 60 years old or more. The working title of the book is "The Heart Does Not Wrinkle;" the publisher is Ballantine Books. I have been interviewing couples in different parts of the country to learn about their experiences. Some are in their 60s and 70s while some in their 80s. The oldest ones are 89 and 94; they have been together for two years.
