Plot Synopsis

THE GOLDEN BACHELORETTE follows Joan Vassos, who has a second chance at love. Vassos' life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure, and strong family values.

Despite that and other challenges she's faced along the way -- including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage -- Vassos remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog and cooking.
