The Wednesday Letters written by Jason F. Wright (author of the Christmas Jars) was the Ratted Out Book Club's choice read for October 2008.
Jack and Laurel Cooper have been married 39 years (imagine that!). Although their love cannot deny an untimely death, they leave this earth cradled in each other's arms. Their three beloved young adult children gather together again to grieve and remember the life they all once shared. It is back at their childhood home where they find boxes overflowing with love letters that were written every Wednesday by their father to their mother from the time when they first married.
This is a engaging story of forgiveness and love - an easy weekend read that we warmly recommend to others.

Love that photo! And thrilled you enjoyed the book :-)
Speaking of The Wednesday Letters, I work with Jason and thought you’d like knowing he has a new contest on his web site where you can win a free trip-for-two to his hometown in VA, the Shenandoah Valley. All you have to do is mail him a Christmas card! All the details are here:
Well Mr. Wright - if I had known you were actually going read this blog, I would have taken a lot more time on the report I wrote! Our group had a wonderful time discussing "The Wednesday Letters." We even talked about how fun it would be to visit Woodstock. It sounds like you have a wonderful life there. Thank you again for taking time to comment on this little blog. We're just an ordinary group of women who love to read. Since we're struggling with a book choice for December - you may have just convinced us to go with the "Christmas Jars"! :-)
Laura - Our Christmas Cards will be in the mail to Jason soon!!
