- By Jason F.Wright
Everything is not as one perceives nor is everything just plain.
There is a web of intricacy woven into the lives of people we so well
know that the depths of emotions cannot be interpreted succinctly. This
novel is about the lives of Cooper’s family and the secrets that surface
posthumously, turning the world upside down if only for a second. The
novel conveys a simple message in a straight forward way and manages to
touch the heart, leaving an impression.
Jack and Laurel
Cooper are happily married and live a quiet life in their own
B&B. One fateful night, they begin their journey into the other
world. Their three children arrive for the funeral and this includes
their youngest, Malcolm, who is a fugitive from law, who must face an
impending arrest warrant as well as his love, whom he could not erase
from his heart despite her being engaged to marry another man. As they
go through the belongings of their parents, they find the letters
written by Jack to Laurel. Jack, secretly vows (one of his marital vows
;), any guys out there willing to take this challenge :D ???) to write a
letter to his wife every Wednesday and true to his word, every single
Wednesday he wrote a letter. As they read them, they get to know the
lives of their parents and the tremendous amount of commitment both held
to work this relation for thirty nine years through to a journey to the
other world.
No tragic sagas, yet a story that
touches everyone. No twisted plot, just subtle love story, with core
values of love, forgiveness, healing and faith. This is for everyone who
has ever been in love or has been hurt.
Hopefully, this novel will motivate me to revive the lost habit of penning down letters to friends, near and far!
