Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's a writer, an original thinker-everything she's imagined she wanted in a partner. But one day without explination, he disappears from her life, leaving behind a diary for her to read.
This diary is a love letter written by a new mother named Suzanne. In it she pours out her heart about how she and her child's father had met, about her hopes for marriage and family, and about the unparalleled joy that having a baby has brought into her life. As Katie reads this touching document, it becomes clear that the lover who has just left her is the husband and father in this young family. She reads on, filled with terror and hope, as she struggles to understand what has happened-and wether her new love has a prayer of surviving.
