Our thoughts on This Path We Share: Reflecting on 60 Years of Marriage:

This book has taught me a lot about relationships.  Not every relationship is picture perfect like movies make them out to be.  Mrs Hjelmstad has shown that even through all the hardships and struggles of health and moving and every day life.  This is an inspirational book – and I am glad to have been able to add this to my library.
