This book allows the author to share her 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. After leaving the Navy in 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 Navy SEAL, away from his family for long stretches while he put his life on the line during the Iraq War. Readjusting to life out of the service, he found new purpose in supporting veterans and their families. Their love had deepened, and, most special of all, their family was whole, finally. Then 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. A clean very presentable copy.
