I had no expectations from this book and I was hooked from the very 1st chapter. I read it in two sittings. It's delightful and if you believe in true love, family secrets and think your family is normal, this book is eye opening and the one for you!

I read this book in one day. I loved the main characters, and it was such a joy to read a book without the vulgar language and situations found in so many of todays books.

Without being too preachy, this Christian Fiction novel tells the story of Inn owners Jack and Laurel Cooper through letters that Jack wrote to Laurel every Wednesday through the years of their marriage. When Jack and Laurel die in each others arms, the children are called home to make arrangements and while clearing out old boxes in the basement, family friend A&P (her nickname has its own story) comes across these letters and the lives of their parents are laid out in front of them. Through laughter and tears the children come to know their parents in a different way and to know the truth that was hidden from them.
A great cast of characters whom each have their own stories and weave their lives around a deeply caring community of friends and loved ones.

This book had some unexpected twists. I hated having to put it down and was anxious to get back to the story each time.
Jason sent me an advanced copy of this book a few months ago. I have shared it with several friends & family members and everyone has loved it. Jason writes such fantastic novels that you feel like you really know the characters. Try Christmas Jars, another fantastic book. It's being made into a movie for this years holiday season.
