Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
In the wake of his bestselling Christmas Jars comes a sweetly crafted story from Wright, a Virginia businessman. Jack and Laurel Cooper are two hardworking, loving Christian pillars of the community who die in each other's arms one night in the bed-and-breakfast that they own and operate. The event calls their three grown children home for the funeral, including their youngest son, a fugitive from the law who must face an outstanding warrant for his arrest and confront his one true love, now engaged to another man. As events unfold around the funeral, the three children discover a treasure trove of family history in the form of Wednesday letters-notes that Jack wrote to his wife every single week of their married lives. As they read, the children brush across the fabric of a devoted marriage that survived a devastating event kept secret all these years. It's a lovely story: heartening, wholesome, humorous, suspenseful and redemptive. It resonates with the true meaning of family and the life-healing power of forgiveness all wrapped up in a satisfying ending. (Oct.)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of three books that must not be missed, September 14, 2007
By Sandra Denton (Pollock Pines, CA) - See all my reviews
Do yourself a favor: skip the celeb-gossip books that are bombarding the amazon top ten list, and go straight for The Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright, A Beautiful Bucket of Bones by M. Luci, and Mother Theresa: Come Be My Light. If you refuse your voyeur instincts, you will turn to these novels and find the rewarding feelings of love and hope that all three so graciously inspire.

The Wednesday Letters is a classic American story filled with dreams and the struggles that surround them. A happily married couple, the Coopers, die in each others arms after a life of hard work, faith and love. Their children return for their funeral and find letters that not only show them the secrets of the lives they thought they knew, but guide them to the point of self-discovery, acceptance, and peace. It is a heartwarming story that will satisfy anyone who has ever had a dream and has had to find a way to move along when that dream dies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous book!, September 12, 2007
What a great book. It made me laugh and cry. The relationship within the family was so realistic and believable to anyone that has siblings. I loved the local landmarks and the pride of living in a small town. The ending was so shocking and unexpected I had to read the last two chapters over again to really believe it. Sit down and be prepared to enjoy a really fabulous book!

5.0 out of 5 stars I want Wednesday letters, too!!!!, January 2, 2008
This review is from: The Wednesday Letters (Audio CD)
What a love story!!!! I "read" this story in my car and I have to say I took a lot of long drives. I could not stop. It's been a month or so since I read this, so I'll not try to give you the details of the book... Amazon has done an excellent job of doing that. What does stand out in my mind are those Wednesday letters and how much this man loved his wife for all of those years up until the day he died. I cannot recommend this story enough. It's one that you'll be thinking about for days. It makes you feel good after all the dust has settled. I wish this kind of love for all of us. Happy reading! JMHO //(*_*)\\
