Overview; "Rae Francoeur's new book is a memoir dedicated to the two men in her life: her mentally ill partner of 18 years, Eli, and his close friend Jim, who became her lover. Francoeur, who lives in Rockport, was 58 and Jim 67 when their affair began. Eli, who is bipolar, was in the midst of yet another crisis that would lead to multiple hospitalizations and threats of suicide. 'Free Fall: A Late-in-Life Love Affair' (Seal Press) chronicles the year in which Francoeur broke away from Eli after getting him help, and embarked on what she calls 'a love affair that changes everything.'''
