Sam and I are sitting on a mostly deserted beach on Lake Michigan a little north of the Drake Hotel in Chicago. The Drake is filled with treasured memories for both of us, and we had dinner at our favorite table there earlier. I need to be with Sam tonight, because it's one year since, well, everything happened that shouldn't have happened — it's one year since Danny died.
Sam's Letters to Jennifer ~ by James Patterson, 2004, contemporary fiction (Wisconsin), 288 pages, 6/10
Have you ever gotten a letter that changed your life completely? In this novel, a woman is summoned back to the town where she grew up. And in the house where she spent her most magical years, she finds a series of letters addressed to her. Each of those letters is a piece of a story that will upend completely the world she thought she knew — and throw her into a love more powerful than she ever imagined could be possible. Two extraordinary love stories are entwined here, full of hope and pain and emotions that never die down.

I love books that use letters as a plot point. Especially since I was an avid letter writer for many years and I know how much they can mean to a person. This does sound good, Bonnie. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
