Booksigning at the CIC, DC Thursday

I am sorry to report that someone called the priest who is the head of the Catholic Information Center and objected to some unspecified political views of Mrs. Roberts, deeming them too outside the party line, so this event has been cancelled. I leave the notice here anyway and ask people to pray for the Roberts who no doubt are insulted.

I also ask everyone now to go buy her book.

STEVE & COKIE ROBERTS are coming to the Catholic Information Center (CIC) in Washington, DC to discuss and sign their book "From This Day Forward"
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. 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.
