Book Description:
Laced with mystery, SAM'S LETTERS TO JENNIFER combines two unforgettable love stories in a novel that's absolutely impossible to put down. Jennifer returns to the resort village where she grew up to help a beloved relative--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 relative 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. As Jennifer reads about this passionate partnership, she learns more about love's imperatives and secrets than she ever dreamed possible.

And then comes the biggest surprise of all. At a time when she thought she could never love again, Jennifer lets her guard down for a moment--and is suddenly caught up in the greatest flight of exhilaration she's ever known. But, just as suddenly, 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. James Patterson's most recent major international bestseller is The Lake House. He is the author of 26 books and lives in Florida.

This is a departure from the normal Patterson novels. This book is truly amazing. Be sure that you have tissues ready as this book will surely make you cry.

This is an awesome book! I have no idea how Patterson is able to write form a woman's point of view, but he does an amazing job. One of my favorites!!!

Really good book. The title throws you off, you think Sam is a lover/boyfriend etc. Nice fast read, a little romance, but not too gushy. Sweet.

Read this in about one day. Very sweet.Catches you at the beginning because you are wondering who Sam is.

A series of letters to Jennifer, each a piece of a story that will completely change the life she thought she knew, two love stories are intertwined.

Picked it up because it was James Patterson. Not his typical story. Wonderful love story, tear-jerker, heart-grabber. Keeps you guessing and flipping to the next page eagerly. Recommended highly.

Very touching. Could be hard to read if you or someone you love is dealing with cancer. Very good book.

Not nearly as wonderful as Suzanne's Diary, but still a great read.

If you're looking for typical James Patterson fare, keep looking. When I read this book I was amazed that it was written by the same James Patterson who writes the books of mystery, intrigue, murder, and crime... How someone can transition from that genre to this is mind boggling to me. He's truly just a gifted author to be able to write so well in both genres.

This is a quick read, and a really enjoyable story. Just be sure you have a box of tissues nearby! This is a story about love and loss... If you can get through this without feeling some tugs at your heartstrings, well then, I think just a tiny piece of your soul might be missing.

If you like this book, you'll like Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, also by Patterson. It's sort of like a Nicholas Sparks novel, only (in my own opinion) better written, (and I like a good Nicholas Sparks every so often).

You know, I just listed Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sam's Letters to Jennifer on my PBS booklist, but I think I need to read then both again before someone requests them.

Very easy and enjoyable read

It was such a wonderfully touching and endearing story. The summers up at the lake are so relatable to any reader in summers of their own. Jennifer's love for Sam and ability to find love again are so touching. Quick read, highly recommend, if you love Nicholas Sparks or Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas you'll love this story.
