When innkeepers Jack and Laurel Conner pass away in each others’ arms on the same night, their three children reunite to mourn. The siblings’ own issues are pushed aside after they discover boxes of Wednesday Letters, which Jack wrote to his wife every week of their 39-year marriage. The letters are comforting until a shocking secret is unearthed. As the town gathers to mourn the beloved couple, their youngest son Malcolm struggles to cope with losing his parents in light of the discovery.

In The Wednesday Letters journalist and author Jason F. Wright tenderly demonstrates just how far love and forgiveness can take two people. Samantha, Matthew and Malcolm are moved by the power of devotion so evident in their parents’ lives, and the letters serve to influence their choices and strengthen their hearts.

The poems in Kelly Caldwell’s debut collection, Letters to Forget, have a thudding, propulsive intensity that is hard to look away from. As much as any poetry can be, they are the living stuff of the world.
