Adaline Bowman
Adaline Bowman: I am too old for this.

2Narrator QuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: A taxi cab traveled through San Francisco from Chinatown to Marin. The car carried a single passenger, a woman. Her birth name, Adaline Bowman. Current alias, Jennifer Larson. This is the first and last chapter of her story.



3Narrator QuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: On February 17, 1937, eight workers and two engineers lost their lives when a section of scaffolding fell through a safety net during construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. Among the deceased was Adaline's husband.



4Narrator QuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: On June 16, 1929, just as Adaline Bowman and her mother stopped to admire the expanse where three years hence construction would be finished on the Golden Gate Bridge, a young engineer displayed uncommon gallantry. Eighty-seven days later, Adaline married Clarence James Prescott at Old Saint Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco.



5NarratorQuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: The immersion in the frigid water caused Adaline's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping her breathing and slowing her heartbeat. Within two minutes, Adaline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees. Her heart stopped beating. At 8:55, a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle, discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current. Its effect was threefold. First, the charge defibrillated Adaline Bowman's heart. Second, she was jolted out of her anoxic state, causing her to draw her first breath in two minutes. Third, based on Von Lehman's Principle of Electron Compression in deoxyribonucleic acid, which will be discovered in the year 2035, Adaline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time.

7Narrator QuotesQuotes

Narrator
Narrator: To ensure the freedom and safety of herself and her daughter, Adaline vowed to keep moving. Changing her name, residence, and appearance every decade. And never to speak a word of her fate to another living soul. In seven weeks, when Jennifer Larson disappears forever, and Susan Fleisher takes up residence in a remote farmhouse in Ashton, Oregon, Adaline Bowman, aside from one moment of weakness, will have kept her vow for the past 60 years.
