  <description><![CDATA[Kisah mereka dimulai dengan sepucuk surat di malam pernikahan mereka.<br/>Aku sudah berjanji hari ini di gereja dan aku akan berjanji lagi padamu malam ini. Aku akan menulis surat padamu setiap minggu.… Dan, Laurel, aku akan selalu mendampingimu. Tak peduli apa pun yang terjadi. Kita akan selalu bersama. Tanpa rahasia. Tanpa kejutan. Dan aku akan selalu setia kepadamu dalam segala hal…. Jack.<br/><br/>Kisah ini ditutup dengan surat terakhir yang ditulis Jack sebelum mereka sempat mengatakan hal yang sebenarnya kepada anak-anak mereka. Dalam waktu singkat, putra-putri keluarga Cooper menemukan ribuan “Surat Hari Rabu,” yang merupakan petunjuk bagi rahasia keluarga. Rahasia ini  membawa setiap anggota keluarga Cooper menghadapi perubahan besar dalam hidup mereka seiring dengan tersingkapnya tabir rahasia.<br/><br/>“Ini adalah cerita cinta yang secara gamblang mencerminkan nilai-nilai kehidupan. Cinta dan mukjizat masih ada!” – Glenn Beck, pembicara radio dan pembawa acara CNN.<br/><br/>“Kemampuan Jason yang luar biasa dalam menulis fiksi adalah suatu berkah. Tentu saja saya jadi ikut tergugah untuk menulis sepucuk surat kepada istri saya setiap hari Rabu.”<br/> – Keith Merril, sutradara film yang pernah memenangkan Oscar.<br/><br/>“Cerita yang indah; menggugah hati, utuh, lucu, membuat penasaran dan penuh kasih sayang … semuanya terbungkus dengan akhir yang memuaskan.”<br/> – Publishers Weekly.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Jack and Laurel have been married for 39 years.  They've lived a good life and appear to have had the perfect marriage.  With his wife cradled in his arms, and before Jack takes his last breath, he scribbles his last &quot;Wednesday Letter.&quot;  When their adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of love letters that their father wrote to their mother each week on Wednesday.  As they begin to open and read the letters, the children uncover the shocking truth about the past.  In addition, each one must deal with the present-day challenges.  Matthew has a troubled marriage, Samantha is a single mother, and Malcolm is the black sheep of the family who has returned home after a mysterious two-year absence.  The Wednesday Letters has a powerful message about forgiveness and quietly beckons for readers to start writing their own &quot;Wednesday Letters.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[Jack and Laurel have been married for 39 years.  They've lived a good life and appear to have had the perfect marriage.  With his wife cradled in his arms, and before Jack takes his last breath, he scribbles his last &quot;Wednesday Letter.&quot;  When their adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of love letters that their father wrote to their mother each week on Wednesday.  As they begin to open and read the letters, the children uncover the shocking truth about the past.  In addition, each one must deal with the present-day challenges.  Matthew has a troubled marriage, Samantha is a single mother, and Malcolm is the black sheep of the family who has returned home after a mysterious two-year absence.  The Wednesday Letters has a powerful message about forgiveness and quietly beckons for readers to start writing their own &quot;Wednesday Letters.&quot;]]>
