A year and a half after the tragedy that has left Jennifer struggling to live, Reverend John Farley calls to tell her that her best friend, Grandmother Sam, is in a coma. Jennifer heads to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin to be with her beloved grandma. In Sam's lakefront house, Jennifer finds letters written to her by her grandma. In the letters, Sam writes that her late husband Charles was not the love of her life, but that she lived a wonderful existence as she found her love buddy. Meanwhile, at Lakeland Medical where Sam lies comatose, Jennifer meets Brendan, who she knew as an older “brother” when she was a child. He begins to bring her back to life even as she continues to read the gift of love that her grandmother has given her.
SAM'S LETTERS TO JENNIFER is an uplifting tale with a deep inspirational message that one must overcome the inevitability of the mortality of loved ones as life is too precious not to live it to the fullest even at its darkest moments.
