Adaline Flemming Bowman was born on January 1st 1908. Many years later she would begin a family of her own. On a cold winter night in 1935, Adaline's life would change forever. 
In that moment something incredible happened. It's effect was almost magical. Adaline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time. She will never age another day.


Adaline Bowman lived in Western Scotland in a lovely home by the sea, a mile from a reasonable well-populated town, with her King-Charles-Cocker Spaniel Bess, she was exactly 109 years and 17 days old. She had a daughter who lived in London, Charlie now an old woman.
On her 109 years and 18 days of been alive, she did not expect to fall in love whilst dancing in her lounge-room than little more than a black petticoat.
 Tell me something I can hold on to forever and never let go...
Let go.
Can Adaline let go of the hidden mystery she has been living for nearly three human lifetimes, for someone who could ultimately destroy her....or truly bring her back to life?
