American Wife: A Memoir of Love, War, Faith, and Renewal (Hardcover)
May 4, 2015, by Taya Kyle (Author), Jim DeFelice (Author)
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 Tayas remarkable story has captivated millions through Clint Eastwoods blockbuster, Academy Award-winning film American Sniper,
starring Bradley Cooper as Chris and Sienna Miller as Taya,
and because of Chriss bestselling memoir, in which Taya contributed passages that formed the books 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 husbands 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 husbands 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.

Why Rush, et al. could finally(!) comment about Democrat First Ladies without fear.. President Reagan took action to end the FCC "Fairness Doctrine".
The FCC "Fairness Doctrine" was used by liberals/progressives to restrict the First Amendment without having to repeal it -- they enforced "fairness" by threatening to take the radio station owners' licenses if citizens complained about their programming content
It's all true. Mr. Radio was Larry "You don't want to pay more taxes? Don't you love your Country?" King.
And it was generally agreed in the media that all the fairness conservatives needed was the one hour a week of William F. Buckley's Firing Line on PBS.
Conservative and Marine W.W.II vet Joe Pyne (an early version of Levin and Savage) had earlier been blamed for the assassination of JFK and had been kicked off the air. I believe that he was on 250 stations. Pyne did support some liberal issues like labor unions.
