SAM'S LETTERS TO JENNIFER

Anne Heche drives the emotion of this book, deftly delivering a roller coaster ride of plot twists and turns. Two romances wind through the chapters, each as important as the other, and though they bounce back and forth, the shifts are smooth and seamlessly presented. After Jennifer reads the nearly 100 letters from Sam, she observes, "How many of us know the true stories of our parents and grandparents? What are we but our stories?" Anne Heche is delightfully whimsical overall, but when her voice falters with emotion, listeners will grab for their tissues.
