The photographers for Autumn Romance say how they feel...
There is no doubt that this book is saying “I love you” to the world.
– Kevin York, Schwenksville, PA
I was delighted to be involved in this project because the topic is so very dear, untapped and important.

What I liked especially about this project is that it celebrates
the timeless nature of love.

Love is such a blessing that no one should be deprived
of it at any stage. I'm so glad to have been a part
of bringing these stories to light.

"This book is an exquisite testament to the power and beauty of love after 50. An ‘autumn romance' is not impossibility; indeed, as this book gorgeously demonstrates, it is a soul gift of immense proportions."
~ Daphne Rose Kingma, best-selling author (The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart; The Future of Love; Finding True Love, Loving Yourself)
"This is a special and rewarding book. The fact is that people can love as deeply at 70 as they did at 20–and Autumn Romance documents that fact exquisitely. Here are real love stories with people who are interesting, attractive and unfailingly articulate about their life together. Each story is more inspiring than the last…. making the reader want to create or maintain a relationship at this level of intimacy…
"Autumn Romance would make a wonderful present for people who have stopped believing in romance…or to show young people that life is filled with opportunity … or for couples who want to celebrate their own relationship, or improve it. The photographs alone are worth the price!"

"Denker's magnum opus is a paean to ordinary people discovering extraordinary romance in the autumn of their lives. The author tells their stories beautifully and honestly, with photos that proudly speak of living."
~ Sally Friedman, weekly columnist for the Journal Register; author of many Chicken Soup for the Soul stories; contributor to The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Jewish Exponent, Family Circle, Ladies Home Journal, Bride's Magazine, New Jersey Monthly.
"Reading Autumn Romance is like watching a Frank Capra film ….uplifting, and upholding our belief in the common day miracle. Here are the role models we've been waiting for, real-life stories of how it's never too late for love and how, the older you get, the better love becomes–and often the better sex becomes.
"Reading it, I thought, 'She just keeps topping herself!' If Denker had just done the stories, that would have been enough. But then there are the phenomenal photos…then a section with advice on looking for love…then another section listing the advantages of late life love! This book is an absolute treasure."

"Autumn Romance is a coffee-table book you'll be proud to leave on display and a book you'll be happy to have in your home. The photos by 16 different photographers highlight the diversity and glowing love of mature couples. The stories speak of courage and resilience and miracles. It would make a beautiful gift for just about anyone."
~ Joan Price, author of Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex over Sixty
"The most endearing and inspiring stories I have read about love – at any age. Autumn Romance is a must-read and a must-see keepsake…there's nothing like it on the market."
~ Beth Meininger, life coach and founder of Coaching Journeys, LLC
"Denker's book is a treasure house of rich, instructive, remarkable stories of 'later life' couples. A feast for the eyes – a feast for the soul – this lavishly illustrated collection is a vital and inspiring contribution, as the real purpose of relationship continues to reveal itself more fully."
~ Phyllis Edgerly Ring, author, Life at First Sight: Finding the Divine in the Details
"The 29 couples profiled in this book are as diverse and interesting as America itself–and readers will never forget them. My favorites are Vernon and Judy Lee of Denver, Colorado. Vernon's transition from a man who was quietly miserable to a person who finds joy with the kind and sensitive Judy is wonderful to behold. Don't forget to explore Carol Denker's own remarkable story–it's the last profile in this remarkable book. As a reader and as a librarian, I loved this book."
~ Dick Levinson, Central Services, The Free Library of Philadelphia
