"Deep inspirational message"
In Chicago, her boyfriend Chris locked Jennifer out of
their apartment on a freezing night when jogger Danny saw
her crying. He brought her a hot coffee and not long
afterward, they fell in love, married, and had child.
However, this is not happily ever after, as Danny and the
baby die in an accident. A year and a half after the tragedy that has left Jennifer
struggling to live, Reverend John Farley calls to tell her
that her best friend, Grandmother Sam, is in a coma.
Jennifer heads to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin to be with her
beloved grandma. In Sam's lakefront house, Jennifer finds
letters written to her by her grandma. In the letters,
Sam writes that her late husband Charles was not the love
of her life, but that she lived a wonderful existence as
she found her soulmate. Meanwhile, at Lakeland Medical
where Sam lies comatose, Jennifer meets Brendan, who she
knew as an older "brother" when she was a child. He
begins to bring her back to life even as she continues to
read the gift of love that her grandmother has given her. SAM'S LETTERS TO JENNIFER is an uplifting tale with a deep
inspirational message that one must overcome the
inevitability of the mortality of loved ones as life is
too precious not to live it to the fullest even at its
darkest moments. Jennifer is a terrific angst character
struggling with tragedy. The letters and Brendan provide
her with solace. Mystery and thriller guru James
Patterson displays his vast talent with this wonderfully
insightful look at the heart and soul of a human warrior. Harriet Klausner
