Elizabeth Elizabeth M. Noble Knihy

Barbara sa dozvie, že je nevyliečiteľne chorá, a rozhodne sa napísať listy svojim štyrom dcéram. Po matkinej smrti ich dostanú spolu s jej denníkom: hovorí v nich nielen o svojej láske k dcéram, ale jednej z nich prezradí aj svoje tajomstvo. Zápisky v denníku sú prepletené udalosťami zo života štyroch dcér, ako sa odohrávajú po matkinej smrti. Dozvedáme sa z nich nielen o vzťahu matky s dcérami, ale aj o vzťahoch medzi sestrami a ich partnermi. Barbara chce, aby ju dcéry spoznali aj s jej chybami. Z jej priznania sa poučia, že každý človek robí chyby, a mal by sa ich naučiť ospravedlniť sebe aj svojim blízkym. Jej zápisky sú oslavou lásky, priateľstva, života.
