520 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.
