In Save the Last Dance the reader is allowed to eavesdrop on correspondence among people caught In an extraordinary situation - the sudden intrusion of long-ago love into the humdrum lives of older people. Adam Wolf and Sarah Ross were teenage sweethearts who grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio in the late 50’s and early 60's. They set a wedding date when they turned fifteen. The day came and went. For most of their lives the two were out of contact.

With their 50th high school reunion approaching, Adam and Sarah reconnect. Email exchanges - after the first tentative "hi", a deluge- five, ten - by the end of the week twenty emails a day. Soon Sarah admits, "All my life I've been looking for someone who loves me as much as you did."

In their late 60s now, the couple are far apart geographically, but again inseparable, at least virtually. They feel ageless. Adam dances around the house, no longer "zombie-walking to Waldheim Cemetery". The two weave from nostalgia and reminiscences to plans and possibilities. They giggle and fantasize. They trust each other with secrets never revealed before.

Too soon harsh disapproval besieges the couple's dream world. Adam is married to Lola, a frustrated and hypercritical wife. His employer, Amanda, grows aggressively, obsessively possessive of him. Divorced from her arrogant husband, Professor Harold Weinstein, Sarah has just entered into a relationship with Gordon, whom she once thought of as "a keeper". Can Adam and Sarah's newly-rebuilt romance withstand the pummeling from the people whose lives they've derailed?
