BBAW: Forgotten Treasure

Sure we’ve all read about Freedom and Mockingjay but we likely have a book we wish would get more attention by book bloggers, whether it’s a forgotten classic or under marketed contemporary fiction.  This is your chance to tell the community why they should consider reading this book!

The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright. It’s a 2-year old book so it hasn’t been touch on recently. I read this book last year, in April of 2009. I was at Target (I swear every time I go to Target I have to browse the book section and every time I browse the book section I end up buying some.) when I spotted it. The cover caught my attention even though there really isn’t much to it; it’s just a small bird holding a letter and a mail slot. The title peaked my interest a little bit more but it was the blurb that put this book in my cart.

 

The story of marriage, family, and forgiveness that has become not just a bestseller but an instant classic.

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 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...

 

The Wednesday Letters is a story of unconditional love. I won’t give too much away but I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Nicholas Sparks, Debbie Macomber and the like. You won’t be disappointed. I originally read this book in my pre-Book Vixen days so you won’t see a review of it here, yet. But I will be re-reading this book soon and will put my review up on the blog.
