The widow of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle shares their private
story: an unforgettable testament to the power of love and faith in
the face of war and unimaginable loss--and a moving tribute to a
man whose true heroism ran even deeper than the legend In early
2013, Taya Kyle and her husband Chris were the happiest they ever
had been. Their decade-long marriage had survived years of war that
took Chris, a U.S. Navy SEAL, away from Taya and their two children
for agonizingly long stretches while he put his life on the line in
many major battles of the Iraq War. After struggling to readjust to
life out of the military, Chris had found new purpose in
redirecting his lifelong dedication to service to supporting
veterans and their families. Their love had deepened, and, most
special of all, their family was whole, finally. Then, the
unthinkable. On February 2, 2013, Chris and his friend Chad
Littlefield were killed while attempting to help a troubled vet.
The life Chris and Taya fought so hard to build together was
shattered. In an instant, Taya became a single parent of two. A
widow. A young woman facing the rest of her life without the man
she loved. Chris and Taya's remarkable story has captivated
millions through Clint Eastwood's blockbuster, Academy
Award-winning film American Sniper, starring Bradley Cooper as
Chris and Sienna Miller as Taya, and because of Chris's bestselling
memoir, in which Taya contributed passages that formed the book's
emotional core. Now, with trusted collaborator Jim DeFelice, Taya
writes in never-before-told detail about the hours, days, and
months after his shocking death when grief threatened to overwhelm
her. Then there were wearying battles to protect her husband's
legacy and reputation. And yet throughout, friendship, family, and
a deepening faith were lifelines that sustained her and the kids
when the sorrow became too much. Two years after her husband's
tragic death, Taya has found renewed meaning and connection to
Chris by advancing their shared mission of "serving those who serve
others," particularly military and first-responder families. She
and the children now are embracing a new future, one that honors
the past but also looks forward with hope, gratitude, and joy.
American Wife is one of the most remarkable memoirs of the year --
a universal chronicle of love and heartbreak, service and
sacrifice, faith and purpose that will inspire every reader.
