Don Fisher, a 41-year-old misfit who craves love but has known little of it, lives alone on the outskirts of New York City
in an apartment about the size of a squash court,where “during much of the time he was there Don could have sworn he was the ball.”
Seeking a break from the northeastern cold, he catches a year-end flight to Caracas, Venezuela, where he lucks into a whirlwind encounter
with Ana, a beautiful Colombian. After returning to New York, Don gets shocking news from Ana that leads to a marriage proposal and
plans for Ana to join him permanently in the United States. What follows is a gripping account of the struggles this improbable couple
face in dealing with the US immigration bureaucracy and in getting their relationship off the ground.
Reminiscent of The Bridges of Madison County, TOUGH LOVE, TENDER HEART is a stirring, fast-flowing depiction of love trying
to take root in an impossible situation, and a tale of unsurpassed relevance to our cross-cultural and post-9/11 age.
