Best Selling Books by Kim Carpenter

The time has finally come to let it out! My truth about a twisted era in my past is now documented into words. This was a time when I made a major and rash decision based off of physical attraction; that ultimately turned into nine years of repeated regret. Love, laughter, family, sex, friends, and blood was all wrapped up in captivity for years. I have chosen to free myself by writing on the pages of my life. My purpose is to deposit hope, encourage others to stand up for themselves, and initiate strength to cut the implanted puppet strings from someone else's misery. My book is a statement acknowledging that what happened to me is not uncommon. My struggle to leave; and ultimately end my unwanted situation opened my eyes to the fact that there are others who suffer a similar path. The beauty of life always triumphs over our past. Continue to trust, and believe as you walk into daily truth of value and courage.

An inspiring, heartbreaking, powerful story of recovery follows the Carpenters as they recover from the physical and psychological wounds of a near-fatal car crash.

Presents the true story of a couple who fell in love again after the wife, Krickitt, suffered a traumatic brain injury in an automobile crash and lost all memory of her previous life.

Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition on November 24, 1993. Two months after their marriage, a devastating car wreck left Krickitt with a massive head injury and in a coma for weeks. When she finally awoke, she had no idea who Kim was. With no recollection of their relationship and while Krickitt experienced personality changes common to those who suffer head injuries, Kim realized the woman he had married essentially died in the accident. And yet, against all odds, but through the common faith in Christ that sustained them, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again. Even though Kim stood by Krickitt through the darkest times a husband can ever imagine, he insists, “I’m no hero. I made a vow.” Now available in trade paper with a new chapter and photo insert, The Vow is the true story that inspired the major motion picture of the same name starring Rachel McAdams (The Notebook), Channing Tatum (Dear John), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), and Academy Award winner Jessica Lange.

"The Vow" tells the true story of a couple that defied the odds and fell in love with each other again after Krickitt suffered brain damage and memory loss following a car accident.
