The Wednesday Letters is the story of Jack and Laurel. Married 39 years, the Coopers lived a good life and appear to have had a near-perfect relationship. Then one night, with his wife cradled in his arms, and before Jack takes his last breath, he scribbles his final "Wednesday Letter." When their three adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of love letters that their father wrote to their mother on every single Wednesday. As they begin to open and read the letters, the children uncover unimaginable adventures and the shocking truth about their past. The Wednesday Letters has a powerful message about redemption and forgiveness. And it just might inspire you to begin writing your own Wednesday Letters.

The Snobs Gathering
The Snobs gathered at Lisa's home for a "wake" in memory of Jack and Laurel Cooper on Monday, January 25. The Snobs enjoyed a dinner reminiscent of a typical family funeral meal. Mourners dined on fried chicken, chicken pot pie, twice baked potatoes and chocolate cake.
The Snobs enjoyed their usual enthusiastic discussion. We talked about each of the main characters and discussed the effect that secrets, often revealed after a loved one's death, can have on those who survive.
It was a lively and enjoyable evening of food, wine and discussion.
