Ah - how I wish I got Wednesday Letters! I just finished this easy to read novel...and it was terrific! :0) I finished it in 3 days, so if you're looking for a fun, quick time filler, this is it! It was the first of this author that I had ever read, and directly finishing the book I got on Amazon and ordered the other two that he's written.
I don't want to ruin the plot (which is a great one...), but I will talk briefly about the Wednesday letters! The husband in this book vows to write his wife a letter every Wednesday of their marriage. What commitment! Sometimes they are one or two lines, occasionally they are pages. Sometimes they are on stationary, others they are on a restaurant napkin. The point is, he made a promise to his wife and he keeps it until they die. How often does that happen anymore in today's society? Not very often...that much I know. People take promises and commitments to light heartedly anymore it seems. Makes me really sad.
This book was a boost to my confidence in the human race, and in marriages in general. With the sky rocketing rate of divorce all around us, I need books like this to remind me that it is possible to live a lifetime with one person growing your love together.
Happy Reading!

Sounds like an excellent idea...maybe I'll run this by Travis! Very rarely he'll leave me a note in the early morning before he leaves for work; it always makes that day so much more enjoyable!
I just read this book as a part of our churches book club!!!!! I agree, it was great! :)
So glad you liked it... Good luck getting those hubbies to write more letters! :)
I started doing this for Dan in Jan 2003 when we began dating... a few cards and notes each month or each season. I meant to give them in a scrap book on our wedding, then on an anniversary... but I still have a stack of them that is getting progressively less tall. I am motivated now to begin reading through the ones I wrote and then recommitting to write them to him. I know he doesn't read this blog... so the secret is safe! Maybe I will give them to him on a significant birthday or anniversary... I am not sure. Any suggestions??
Hm...I'm not sure Bethany - such a great commitment though! Not only are you expressing your feelings for him, you're vowing to take your time (a high commodity thing for me) to love him. And...think about the legacy (in writing) that you're leaving behind for your children! That's really why I started this blog, but it's not nearly the same as them being able to read my love letters to their dad! I would think on your 5 year anniversary that would be the best present he could receive!
Yes, I saw that! I am planning on entering! :0)
