Fitly Framed Together: The Life and Testimony of Bob and Louise Erekson

Fitly Framed Together; The Life and Testimony of Bob and Louise Erekson, an autobiography edited by Ginger Hamer, is a significant addition to the growing collection of memoirs written by the Greatest Generation. Like so many others, these children of the 1920s were raised in the Great Depression and married during World War II. But their particular version of the national story is enriched and defined by their life-long devotion to the LDS Church. Here a boy of solid Mormon pioneer stock meets the daughter of converts who are working to establish a small branch of the Church in Illinois. As the two forge a life in Church and community, none of their problems-disastrous business failures, severe health issues and accidents-can shake their faith. They remained determined to recognize God's blessings in the direst circumstances.Based on autobiographical sketches, oral histories, and a cache of letters spanning 50 years, the book is approachable, insightful, and absolutely genuine.
