Non-Fiction Memoir
After thirty years together, Cokie and Steve Roberts know
something about marriage and after thirty distinguished
years in journalism, they know how to write about it. In
From This Day Forward, Cokie and Steve weave their
personal stories of matrimony into a wider reflection on the
state of marriage in American today. Here they write
with the same conversational style that catapulted Cokie's
We Are Our Mother's Daughters to the top of the
New York Times bestseller list. They ruminate on
their early worries about their different faiths -- she's
Catholic, he's Jewish -- and describe their wedding day at
Cokie's childhood home. They discuss the struggle to
balance careers and parenthood, and how they compromise when
they disagree. They also tell the stories of other American
marriages: that of John and Abigail Adams, and those
pioneers, slaves and immigrants. They offer stories of
broken marriages as well, of contemporary families living
through the "divorce revolution". Taken together, these
tales reveal the special nature of the wedding bond in
America. Wise and funny, this book is more than an
endearing chronicle of a loving marriage -- it is a story of
all husbands and wives, and how they support and strengthen
each other.
