Product Description
James Patterson's #1 New York Times bestseller combines two unforgettable love stories in a novel that's impossible to put down. Jennifer returns to the resort village where she grew up to help her ailing, beloved grandmother-and ends up experiencing not one but two of the most amazing love stories she's ever known. The first is completely unexpected. In a series of letters that Jennifer finds, her grandmother reveals that she has concealed a huge secret for decades: Her great love is not the man she was married to for all those years. And then comes the biggest surprise of all: Just when she thought she could never love again, Jennifer finds herself caught up in the greatest flight of exhilaration she's ever known. But just as unexpectedly, she learns that this new love comes with an unbearable cost. Jennifer doesn't think she can survive the pain-but the letters she's been reading make her think that love may help her find a way.

 Surprised at the low ratings! June 19, 2009
M. Lehman (Mitchellville IA)
This book tells the story of at least 3 different love stories, one is between the grandmother 'Sam' and her granddaughter Jennifer. Sam leaves letters to Jennifer telling stories of her life, which reveals to Jennifer things about her grandmother and grandfather she never would've guessed. The letters also become inspiration for Jennifer in her own life, finding love again after the death of her husband and child. This story is also about the importance of telling your life's stories to those who love you.

I listened to the CD version in my car. I really enjoyed it. If you like a good love story or romance, you will enjoy this book. I have read most of Patterson's suspense novels and this is the exact opposite. It is hard to believe the same man writes two totally different types of books. So if soap operas and chick lit are your cup of tea, you will like this book. Power Path to Love
Loved this! March 29, 2009

I just finished "Sundays at Tiffany's" and decided to find more books similar to that one by James Patterson. I got this in the audio format and could NOT stop listening, it was so good! I'm going to be listening to "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas" next.
I LOVE these books by James Patterson and hope he writes more in this genre!

I recently ran across this novel and was very surprised. I've read five of Patterson's stories, but didn't know that he had written anything like this! I've enjoyed his famous novels, filled with suspense and action, but in my mind, this is his best book!
SAM'S LETTERS TO JENNIFER touched me in a way that I didn't expect. It's the story of Samantha, a grandmother who wants to share the very personal story of her life with her favorite granddaughter and she does so in the old fashion epistolary style of letters! Called Sam by her many friends, and family, she is a caring and warm person.
Jennifer, is living a successful life as a newspaper columnist when she is called back home because her grandmother, Sam has experienced a stroke and is in a coma. The prognosis is not good. Jennifer spends hours at the hospital talking to Sam, but not knowing whether or not Sam hears her. Jennifer, herself, is still mourning the death of her husband and now she's faced with losing the only other person who she loves.
For the last few years, Sam has written many letters to her beloved granddaughter, never posted, but waiting to be found in her home. When Jennifer finds the letters she learns some family history that is very unexpected and a little shocking.
Jennifer also finds someone else while staying at Sam's cottage. She meets a man who she knew as a child and they form a warm friendship, but life is never easy.
This was a very enjoyable read with many interesting characters.
 Pass it up! March 14, 2009

This is not good! I resent authors who formulate a story based on another writer's success. Just for the record--we all can spot the Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele and Mary Higgins Clark's of the world ... They do not respect their readers only their pocketbooks. (Same story over and over, new characters.) Mr. Patterson, you are too good for this. I am mad. I bought this book a while back and forgot I had read it, so I did it again. By the time I realized I had already read it I was well into it, I figured, well, I have already read it, but it's a Patterson, so it will be a good read. Well I am throwing it out so I don't do this again!! Don't write from a woman's perspective. You don't HAVE a woman's perspective, i.e. "voice"! I love the Women's Murder series and it translated beautifully to tv. We miss it a lot. I've pre-ordered #8. You rock at what you do. Stay with it!
