The Wednesday Letters

The inspirational story of marriage, family, and forgiveness that has become not just a bestseller but an instant classic — a surprise New York Times bestseller from an author who delivers "American storytelling at its best."

Their story begins with one letter on their wedding night, a letter from the groom, promising to write his bride every week — for as long as they both shall live.

Thirty-nine years later, Jack and Laurel Cooper die in each other's arms. And when their grown children return to the family B&B to arrange the funeral, they discover thousands of letters.

The letters they read tell of surprising joys and sorrows. They also hint at a shocking family secret — and ultimately force the children to confront a life-changing moment of truth.
