Suzanne''s Diary for Nicholas. Katie Wilkinson''sboyfriend Matt dumps
her; not a total cad, he leaves her a gift, a diary kept bySuzanne,
his first wife, for their son Nicholas. Though it''s not exactly
thediamond ring Katie was hoping for, she''s unable to make herself
destroy thediary--against her better judgment, Katie begins to
read.Drawn against her will into the other woman''s world, Katie
learns of physicianSuzanne''s heart attack at age 35 and her
decision to slow down, accomplished bya move to Martha''s Vineyard
and a new job as a simple country doctor. When lovecomes knocking,
in the form of housepainter-cum-poet Matt Harrison, Suzanne isready
to listen to her newly repaired heart. Though painful for Katie,
shebegins to know and like Suzanne and her infant son Nicholas.
Suzanne''s devotionto Matt and their son shines through, as well as
her plainspoken wisdom. Whilethe journal helps Katie understand
Matt, whether they can write a futuretogether remains in question.

psychologist and government consultant, are the most popular books
among Patterson readers. James Patterson has been criticized by

thrillers".[citation needed] Patterson shrugged off the comments,
stating that he wants to be the "thrillingest thriller writer of
all time".[citation needed] James Patterson has also been put as
one of Forbes magazine''s top 100 celebrities.
