Review #45
Jack and Laurel Cooper are two hardworking, loving Christian pillars of the community who die (of natural causes) 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.
While making arrangements for the funeral, the children discover boxes of "Wednesday letters", notes that Jack wrote to his wife every single week of their 39 years of married life. It’s a history of those 39 years…some not known to their children. 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.
I liked this book very much.
