The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright

The Wednesday Letters, by Jason F. Wright.  This sweet novel reminds me of Nicholas Sparks’ love stories.  That’s good.  A loving husband has written his wife a letter every Wednesday of their married lives.  She saved them all.  When the couple suddenly passes away their adult children discover the letters and some family secrets.  So, as they deal with the ordeal of the funeral and loss, they also have to deal with these secrets.  Nicely woven story.  9/10.
