Ask any husband or wife, and they’ll tell you that marriage is one of the toughest commitments to keep in life. Add to that the pressures of raising a child, and you’re faced with a supremely difficult series of daily challenges – which can sometimes seem insurmountable. One can never underestimate the power of hope, though, and with the right mix of faith, trust, dedication, and perseverance, married couples can overcome any obstacles that stand in the way of fostering lasting peace in their relationships.
This crucial message serves as the backbone of Love Always, Hobby And Jessie. Highlighting the often rocky marriage of her parents, author Sara Robinson’s touching memoir is a powerful testament to the virtues of mutual respect and understanding. Rooted in a small town in early 20th Century Virginia, the marriage of Robinson’s parents underwent a host of unique challenges as the two of them struggled to bridge considerable cultural, philosophical, and societal gaps in forging the kind of durable bond designed to last them a lifetime. In clear, straightforward language, Robinson relates the moving story of their time-tested love, which serves as a microcosm of the trials and tribulations of any married couple – regardless of the time and place in which they may find themselves. Giving further life to Robinson’s moving tale are the vivid photographs peppered throughout the book, putting a human face on the detailed recollections of her family’s storied ups and downs.
Presenting the reader with a straightforward, brutally honest depiction of the realities of married life, Love Always, Hobby And Jessie serves as a stark reminder that the most rewarding victories in life are always the most hard-fought. Strongly recommended.
