Mark is a wonderful husband who has a seemingly perfect life. He has lived his life through a series of notes. Notes from his life, notes from his wife and notes that he has written to himself as reminders of his experiences. He keeps them so that he can reflect on the best and worst times of his life. But when his wife tells him that she is unexpectedly pregnant he changes from a perfect husband to a despondent stranger. Living separate lives he shuts his wife and child off from his world and reverts to his thoughts and his notes for sanity. Through his story we learn that even in the most perfect of relationships can change with the addition of a child. Is it the child that makes Mark turn his back on his family or it is something more? Secrets are revealed and lives are forever changed. In the end it takes A Private Note to understand why Mark has done what he has done and to feel empathy for his situation.
