Jennifer practically grew up at her grandmother, Sam’s, lakefront home.  Sam means the world to Jennifer and was always her best friend.  When she receives a call that Sam is in a coma, Jennifer leaves everything to be by her grandmother’s side.

She arrives at her grandmother’s house after stopping by the hospital, Jennifer is surprised to see a stack of letters by her bed.  Her grandmother has written a series of letters retelling her life, the life that Jennifer has always wanted to know more about.  What she learns is that her grandmother’s marriage was not the loving affair Jennifer had always imagined, and that there are secrets that her grandmother has kept hidden for a very long time.

This sets off a desire to learn the truth about her grandparents, and at the same time serves as the catalyst for Jennifer’s taking stock in her own life, which has been in turmoil since her husband’s death.  She soon realizes that she may be ready to try her hand at love once again.

 For years, readers have known James Patterson to be a master at mystery and suspense.  His lengthy list of bestselling books grace many readers’ shelves and some have made it to the big screen.  Then he released a poignant love story, SUZANNE’S DIARY TO NICHOLAS, that showed a whole new side and drew in a different crowd of readers.  SAM’S LETTERS TO JENNIFER is another tear jerking, eloquently written novel that no romance reader will want to miss. 

The story flows with a smooth pace.  You are drawn in from the first word and find yourself spellbound until the very last page.  There are two romances that wind through the chapters, each just as important as the other, and though they bounce back and forth, the shifts are seamless.   Only a masterful storyteller can skip back and forth without your ever truly noticing.  James Patterson remains at the top of his game with his latest romantic tale.
