Sam’s Letters to Jennifer
By James Patterson
Read by
Anne Heche

       Writer Jennifer and her grandmother, Sam, are as close as two people can be. After they lost Jennifer’s grandfather four years ago and later her husband only a year ago, the two have been through everything two widows can possibly go through together. Nothing could’ve steadied Jennifer for the unexpected accident that would put her beloved grandmother in a coma. Now Jennifer has to brace herself for another struggle. She is asked to go back to Lake Geneva…to the house where she and Sam spent the best parts of their lives together. Sam was the one who gave her everything…the love that she cherished and the inspiration to be a writer. Nothing seemed to be letting her go...it seemed like nothing in her life would ever be the same again...and she’s right, but not just because of her grandmother and the dreams she still has of her husband Danny…but also because of the nearly 100 letters carefully numbered and addressed to Jessica in Sam’s handwriting. It’s in these letters that Jennifer learns who her grandmother really is, both the good and the bad...and about herself, as well.

       This is an incredible story of love, despair, and change. Jessica and Sam’s relationship is one-of-a-kind and brings the story of Jessica’s life and Sam’s past to life more than any other characters could have. The emotional drive in this book will take you on a ride with more twist and turns than a roller coaster and will keep you glued to your tissues. It’s a heart-wrenching read about life, love, loss, and everything in-between.
