About this ebook

A powerfully moving novel of love, loss, hope, and family from bestselling author James Patterson.
Katie Wilkinson has found her perfect man at last. He's a writer, a house painter, an original thinker - everything she's 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. In it she pours out her heart about how she and the boy's father 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.
Written with James Patterson's perfect pitch for emotion and suspense, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas captures beautifully the joys of a new family even as it builds to an overwhelmingly moving climax. This is an unforgettable love story, at once heartbreaking and full of hope.

Ratings and reviews

The beginning was better than the end. The book was a bit predictable but romantic. Nice happy ending. I like that it was short. Any longer and it would have become boring.

Beautiful story that is beautifully written! My advice: Sit down with a big cup of your favorite beverage, a box of tissues, & block out enough time to read it in it's entirety. I couldn't put it down until it was finished. I've given this book to both men & women, and all have had the same reaction as me. I purchased it just because it was a Patterson book. When I read what it was about, I was a bit nervous. Not normally what he writes about. But I'm so glad I purchased it! Truly is one of my favorites!

One of the best books I have ever read. I have read the whole Cross Series, and many other James Patterson novels and never dissappointed. He is extremely talented and multi faceted writer! I have a large collectio in hard back copies of all tbe books I've read and highly recomend Sam's Letters to Jennifer if you love this novel!
