Synopsis

Jack and Laurel have been married for 39 years. Theyve 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.
