Gray Love narrates stories about the most common themes ? searching for and (perhaps) finding love. Forty-five men and women between ages 60 and 94 from diverse backgrounds talk about dating, starting or ending a relationship, embracing life alone or enjoying a partnered one. The longing for connection as old age encroaches is palpable here, with more and more senior singles searching online. Those who find new partners explore issues that most relationships encounter at any age, as well as some that are unique to elder relationships. These include having had previous partners and a complicated and deep personal history; family and friends? reactions to an older person?s dating; alternative models to marriage (such as sharing space or living apart); having more than one partner at the same time; one?s aging body, appearance, and sexuality; and the pressure of time and the specter of illness and death.
