THis brings to mind the story "The THornbirds" . The tycoon Mary Carson a woman who had lived by her wits and tamed the outback with money in the bank to show for it. Had survived by marrying a much older man as a young woman , a man who she didnt love. At the time the story starts she is in her 70's and has to her heartbreak fallen in love with the young priest of the parrish. No matter how much money, intelligence, wit , sophistication she possessed she could never have his heart. The most heartbreaking scene is where she tells him that her exterior may be 70 but inside she is still young with all the same needs and desires. It has been a major learning experience the older I get.
