Description 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 uncover the shocking truth about the past. In addition, each one must deal with present-day challenges. 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 for readers to start writing their own "Wednesday Letters."
Insightful reviews Melanie: This book was a very simple read. When I finished I definitely closed the book understanding the message the author, Jason Wright, was trying to get across to his readers: Forgiveness. The whole book is based on forgiveness. Forgiveness a husband gives to his wife; Forgiveness children give to their parents; a family forgiving an uncle; siblings forgiving the mistakes a brother has made; and forgiving of a man who caused a major life change for the whole family involved. All of the forgiveness is stemmed from a life time of letters written to the wife from the husband (both who have passed away) and father to the children reading the letters. Some of it is believable. I can believe that people will forgive certain circumstances and forgive their family and siblings for the things they have done wrong. But the last forgiveness in the book was way to unrealistic for me to believe. How they had this person in their lives as a result of their father forgiving, I just couldn’t believe it. I can not believe that a husband would become involved in the rehabilitation of another man who violated his wife is such a manner. And I can not believe this person would actually eventually become a vital part of this family. Possibly I did not walk away with the lesson learned and the powerful feeling of forgiveness that the author was trying to instill in his readers, because I say this is very far fetched and would not happen in real life. I don’t believe I would recommend this book to my friends.
Margaret: I finished. I am a little dissapointed. Its ok, but nothing in comparison to his first book. Its a nice, quick story. I was expecting the perpetrator to be someone else, so that was a little twist. But not much of one. Let me know what you think in the comments section. Hippo dari Hongkong: Ahirnya beres juga... jadi begini para rekan durjana tercinta, menurut seorang durjanawanwati ini buku ide-nya bagus, sayangnya eksekusi gak terlalu bagus, ceritanya terlalu datar buat sang durjanawanwati. Sepertinya dia sedikit "terganggu" dengan karakter Jack yang dimatanya terlalu hebat ato agung *kalo dia jadi jack dijamin dia bakal cari itu brandal yang macem2 itu dan membunuhnya ~ dengan kampak pingky tentunya, hehehe* Dia lebih memilih buku2 karya nicholas sparks aja kalo nyari buku bertema romantis. Ato baca ulang lagi buku Doctors-nya
Erich Segal, ato Love Story yang sempet bikin dia tersedu-sedu ketika pertama kali baca bukunya *begitupun filmnya* Karena ide utama buku ini adalah tentang kata maaf yang bisa mengubah sesuatu, dan terinspirasi rekan durjanawan yang malah cerita tentang kisah cintanya yang menginspirasi seekor ayam bugil (hasanudin) untuk curhat di ripyu dia dan juga karena gue lagi butuh untuk meminta maap pada seseorang untuk sebuah "dosa" dimasa lalu... jadi begini, dulu sekali ada anak laki-laki gendut *sekarang dah sixpack* yang masih berseragam putih biru dan duduk di kelas III. Ceritanya dia naksir cewe kelas laen neh. Awalnya sih si gendut ini cuek aja ama itu cewe, cuman gara2 sering digodain ama dijodoin ama temen2 cewenya sejak kelas I, ni anak laki2 sepertinya mulai "tertarik" juga ama si neng geulis ini *butuh waktu ampir tiga tahun* Pas kelas 1 dan 2 ni anak gendut ini ga pernah mikirin cewe. Ngapain sih? kecil2 dah pacaran.. gitu dia mikirnya. Maklumlah, dia masih doyan ngejar2 layangan putus, maen kelereng ama maen sepeda BMX. Tetapi si anak gendut ini tetep gak ngaku kalo dia mulai naksir si neng geulis ini dan temen2nya pun spertinya dah mulai bosan ngegodain dia. Masalah lain timbul, anak gendut ini sepertinya dikeceng (bukan ge er) juga ama anak cewe kelas sebelah. Sepertinya temen2 cewe si gendut sudah kehabisan bahan guyonan sehingga mereka mengalihkan sasaran cewe lain yang dirasa "cocok" buat si gendut. "Cocok" karena mungkin tingginya sedikit diatas si gendut dan bodynya (maap) sedikit lebih besar. Karena keseringan digodain.. "eh, kamu dapet salam dari si gendut" *kita2 gitu lah* ni cewe lama2 sepertinya "termakan" gosip itu. Si gendut ini lama-lama sebel juga ngeliatin si Miss T yang tambah lama kliatan tambah genit aja kalo ketemu. Karena kelasnya sebelahan, jadi tiap si gendut dateng ke sekolah dan mo masuk kelas, Miss T ini sepertinya sudah nungguin didepan pintu kelas dia, dan tiap papasan temen2 yang lain sibuk nyorakin. Reaksi Miss T selalu sama, tiap papasan dan kalo kebetulan si gendut ini ngelirik, mukanya langsung merah, nutupin pipinya tersipu-sipu sambil lari ke kelasnya diiringi sorakan temen2nya. Wah! sebel banget jadinya si gendut. Suatu hari ada temen cewe biang gosip yang berbisik.. "eh, lo tau gak? neng geulis lagi diincer temen sekelasnya. Beneran gak naksir?" dengan dinginnya si gendut ini ngjawab, "Nggak, biarin aja..." *padahal hatinya panas, hahaha* Ahirnya si gendut memutuskan untuk kirim lagu lewat radio buat neng geulis (jaman dulu sptnya lagi seru2nya acara kirim2 lagu) Minta duit jigow ama emaknya dan larilah ke telp umum. Minta diputerin lagu "Take My Breath Away" (OST Top Gun yang lagi ngetop2nya) ama operatornya. Ngacir pulang, nyetel radio. Ampe acara mo bubaran lagu rikues si gendut gak diputer juga, kecewa.. niat matiin radio. Tiba2 penyiarnya ngomong.. "ini lagu terahir.. dirikues oleh Miss T *eh, gak salah denger nih* dipersembahkan buat.. *waks! nama lengkap si gendut disebutin, lengkap dengan kelas dan nama sekolahnya OH, NOOO!!!* sebuah lagu dari Air Supply berjudul I Can Wait Forever.." *TIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!* Dalam kondisi syok berat si gendut mendengar lagu... ....................... All the emptiness inside me flows All around and there's no way out I'm just thinking so much of you There was never any doubt
I can wait forever If you say you'll be there too I can wait forever if you will I know it's worth it all, to spend my life alone with you Pokonya sejak saat itu si gendut selalu syok berat tiap dengerin intro itu lagu. Lemes banget deh tiap dengerin intro itu lagu. Sebuah lagu yang menorehkan trauma akut buat si gendut..Pokoknya si gendut ini gak bisa lagi denger itu lagu ampe sekarang! Buntutnya sedikit merembet ke semua lagu2 Air Supply, pdhl dulu dia demen banget ama lagu yang judulnya Making Love Wearing Nothing At All.. eh, oh.. maap, Making Love Out Of Nothing At All kamsutna :D Pas disekolah, cewe2 biang gosip nyegat.. "Eh, tau gak Miss T kirim lagu tuh, romantis banget" kata mereka cekikikan. "Nggak, gak dengerin radio" kata si gendut dingin *padahal panik* "Emang napa?" "Ahem.. beneran! dia ngirim lagu buat elo." "Oya?" *tetep pasang tampang dingin* Sejak kejadian itu, kelakuan Miss T ini tambah genit aja dimata si gendut, sehingga dia harus pasang tampang garang tiap ketemu dia. Di tambah patah hati karena neng geulis disamber si borokokok. Dua bulan terakhir di kelas tiga adalah "neraka" buat si gendut, hehehe. Trauma I Can Wait Forever ternyata terbukti sekitar dua tahun yang lalu, ketika itu tiga orang cewe biang gosip itu nelp dan ngajak reuni kecil2an setelah belasan tahun gak pernah bertemu. Bersepakat ngumpul di kafe rumah nenek. Ketemuan lah sekitar jam 8 malam, ada yang bawa anak2nya juga. Ketika lagi asik ngalor ngidul ada temen yang menyelinap ke panggung (ada live musiknya) dan meyelipkan secarik kertas berisi rekues lagu.. ketika lagi asik makan sang penyanyi ngomong.. "berikut ini sebuah lagu yang khusus dipersembahkan untuk.." *nama si gendut di sebut lagi* dan mengalunlah intro lagu I Can Wait Forever yang ternyata masih bikin syok itu. Dan berlangsung adegan komikal yang bikin pengunjung laen heran. yak! si gendut dengan paniknya lari ke toilet sambil tutup kuping! Pas balik lagi setelah mengira2 lagunya dah kelar dia melihat temennya seperti orang yang udah ketawa abis2an. Mereka langsung komen.. "Lo masi trauma ama itu lagu? after all this years? Payah!" Yang lain nambahin, "Superman lemes kalo ketemu batu kripton, elo lemes denger air supply." si gendut cuman bisa manyun. Nah disitu jadi inget lagi ama kelakuan dulu yang udah segitu juteknya ampe melotot sebal tiap ketemu Miss T ini. Um.. masalahnya bulan Mei depan temen2 smp satu angkatan si gendut mo bikin reuni. Hasil "investigasi" mengindikasikan bahwa neng geulis dan miss T ini termasuk salah satu dari mereka yang belum terlacak keberadaannya. Meski demikian, dia berharap neng geulis dan miss T ini bisa datang. Buat neng geulis pertanyaannya mungkin.. "kenapa dulu mau ama si borokokok?" :D dan yang terpenting si gendut ini bisa meminta maaf secara pantas kepada Miss T. Do'ain yah! PS: Sejak keluar dari SMP ampe sekarang si gendut blom pernah ketemu lagi ama neng geulis & Miss T
erie *teteup* masih blom bisa "berdamai" dengan lagu I Can Wait Forever Merinding gitu looh
Meredith: I simply complete this book. It was once okay. I learn loads of reports on Amazon approximately it announcing they did not deal with the preachy, conservative-Christian standpoint it touted. i did not see an overbearing topic like that stumble upon at all, and that i used to be shocked that such a lot of reviewers did not deal with the publication for that reason. all of the offerings and reactions of the characters felt genuine, and whereas to a few the alternative of the most characters' mom can have appeared "ultra-conservative," i assumed it used to be sincere, genuine, and honorable.What I did locate qualm with have been the rather shallow characters themselves. The book's premise is that the 3 major characters, Malcolm, Samantha, and Matthew, come domestic to VA for his or her parent's mixed funeral. whereas home, they detect hoards of "Wednesday Letters" that their father wrote to their mom each Wednesday for approximately forty years. except Malcolm (who by way of a long way has the main advanced state of affairs within the story), i discovered the remainder characters flat and un-compelling. Matthew has an estranged spouse who without warning makes a final minute visual appeal to tie up that free end. Samantha is a would-be actress grew to become police officer, who does little to propel the plot except consoling people. (A surprising unfastened finish among her and her ex-husband is by surprise resolved on the end, whilst for the complete ebook he is slightly mentioned.)The total plot moved well, yet within the previous couple of chapters, new characters pop up, say a couple of phrases to make amends, and move slowly again into the woodwork from which them came. And the inital arrange for Malcolm (which i used to be essentially studying the ebook to determine the way it could end) is resolved inside an issue of pages, and a half-hearted epilogue that turns out to assert the writer obtained uninterested in writing the story.However, the e-book has obtained rave studies from many different readers, and my spouse's mother cherished it, so it can easily be that i did not discover a resonance with any of the characters. yet in a completely personality pushed plot (the entire tale occurs over and a part days,) that is a fairly large problem. Laurie: The Wednesday Letters is a heartwarming tale of a family members suffering via a attempting time and discovering their way. For years, Jack and Laurel Cooper have owned a B&B within the attractive Shenandoah Valley. the tale starts on the finish in their lives whilst tragedy takes them either at the similar evening. Shocked, their little ones go back domestic to assert see you later and locate themselves within the similar position for the 1st time in years. Their preliminary soreness is instantly dispelled once they realize their father's Wednesday Letters to their mother. whereas studying the tale in their parent's lives, they slowly become aware of extra approximately themselves than they ever cared to grasp and within the strategy heal wounds that none of them have been even conscious they possessed.Wright's publication used to be superbly written and entire of emotion. From the 1st page, the emotion is palpable and that i used to be instantly drawn into Jack and Laurel Cooper. Our short acquaintanceship with them is sufficient to make us love their bright characters and their kid's mysteries stored me examining good into the night. The writing flows easily and the storyline is predictable yet completely stress-free delivering a bit romance coupled with the gentle mysteries. i'd certainly

This acquired sturdy 3 stars from a lot of my friends. What? by way of the tip of this particularly brief booklet i could not look ahead to it to be over. Melodramatic, Sentimental and Condescending. All at once, folks. If i could not deal with this at Christmastime, there is no means i might have ever loved it. Plus, the audio had all of the believe of a stake convention talk. i love stake convention okay, I simply wish my ebook to have a few truth to it.
