Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's everything she imagined she wanted in a partner. But one day, without explanation, he disappears from her life, leaving behind only a diary for her to read.

This diary is a love letter written by a new mother named Suzanne for her baby son, Nicholas. 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 whether her new love has a prayer of surviving.

"Not the stretch some might imagine...impress[es] with its craft and calculation." (Publishers Weekly)
"Clever, light, and as welcoming as an ocean breeze." (People)

heart wrenching

beautiful story sad at times heart wrenching at times but overall well told story

Patterson Rocks! Beautiful, Heart Wrenching Story

Any one would die to have a Matt like this Matt - you love Suzanne, you Love Katie, the mark of a great storyteller is that they suck you in and make you emotionally invested in the characters. While I like Sam's Letters to Jennifer more...this book still rocks, is highly worth the listen - my only critique is - too short, ending is too abrupt, I could listen a lot longer - but I love my HEA's and I got it - so Hooray James, looking forward to the next one!

Great Listen in the Garden

I listen to this book while I was gardening over a 2 day period. It was a fully enjoyable listen, the reader had a wonderful voice and a great way of presenting the story. The music in the background was an added treat. I really enjoyed the story, it was well told, it had a direction a little intrigue and a good ending. I recommend this book.

perennial favorite

I love this love story. I read it each year on vacation. Rich with symbolism.

Great book

This is by far the best book by james patterson the favorite so far. It's a bitter sweet love story :-) I read it and listen to it over and over and over again :-)

Great Listen

Although this book was predictable, I enjoyed it. I downloaded this book for a long drive I had, the book made the time fly. I laughed, smiled and cried! I didn't want the book to end and wanted the story to be carried further.

Absoutely touching...

This is one of the most touching books I have read in a while. As so many others have written, I too, did not want this one to end. I felt the love, the pain and all the possible emotions throughout this book and although I didn't shed a tear, I was so choked up at times that I really struggled to keep running (I listen to my books whilst running and let me warn others, its not good to choke up when running!!)
If you have any doubt about whether to purchase this one and you enjoy an emotional story then dont wait a moment longer.
The reader of this book does a fantastic job also and has a very listenable voice.
Thoroughly enjoyed and will no doubt listen to this one again in the future.
