Some say that love must blossom and grow; it cannot simply appear in a moment and last forever.
But is this really true?
There are countless anecdotes that compete with this notion. This is one such story...
John is a tennis coach with few rambunctious students, a dog, and parents who want more from him and aren't afraid to tell him so. Everyone tries to match him up, but he can't see the point. His dates never seem to click on an emotional level. That is until he meets Kari in an unexpected way.
Kari Goodbar is a baker who has no remaining family after her husband has died, except for the child she is carrying. Is there any room for romance in such a life? She doesn't think that she can date at this point in her life, or that anyone would want to be with her. But she's wrong.
John and Kari's meeting is unexpected, and not exactly ideal. They fall in love in an instant, but their relationship falls apart just as quickly. Their stubbornness separates them, but true love can't be foiled by something so basic. They are both face the reality that the lives they had been living were incomplete. They do not want to go back to how things were before; they want to spend their lives together. When they finally get their act together…
Will it be too late?
