Jack and Laurel have been married for 39 years. They've lived a good life and appear to have had the perfect marriage. With his wife cradled in his arms, and before Jack takes his last breath, he scribbles his last Wednesday Letter. When their adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of love letters that their father wrote to their mother each week on Wednesday. As they begin to open and read the letters, the children -- who are all dealing with present-day challenges -- uncover the shocking truth about the past. Matthew has a troubled marriage, Samantha is a single mother, and Malcolm is the black sheep of the family who has returned home after a mysterious two-year absence. The Wednesday Letters has a powerful message about forgiveness, and quietly beckons readers to begin their own family traditions.

"This book is absolutely beautiful. It is religious based, but can also been seen as a story that just has undertones of the religion and is not based on it. I picked this book up at a thrift store because it looked interesting, by the ending I was completely in love with it. It makes you think and is the kind of book that stays with you. Definitely a tear jerker though."

"This book was a blind buy for me. And honestly, I’m upset that I didn’t know that it existed before. This book jumped out at me when I was out for a book haul. I knew that I had to take it with me... and boy I was not disappointed. Not many books make me cry but I’ll be honest I teared up quite a bit throughout the book. It’s pure, so you think, but it’s real. I would have loved to have known the Coopers, and I hope that they get to make the movie adaptation that Wright is hoping for! Must read!"
