Relationships between older men and younger women are not usual perhaps or even common, but they are certainly not rare. Nor are they as subject to criticism when they do occur as is a relationship that develops between a young man and an older woman...especially a significantly older woman. Although fictionalized, "Evangeline" is based on a true story, the story of an older woman who meets a younger man, too young in fact to be consorting with any woman, let alone a woman old enough to be his mother. If a love was ever tested, it would be the love that grew between Evangeline Vandyke and Jeremiah Justin. Attraction sprang unsought between them and grew into a love that was purified by adversity - circumstantial, physical and emotional - in its infancy. When irresistible attraction comes in the door, circumspect behavior often goes out the window. This can leave disaster in its wake or it can be the beginning of a love that lasts...forever.
