- American wife : love, war, faith, and renewal / by Kyle, Taya,1974-; DeFelice, Jim,1956-author.;
Love -- War -- Fame -- Shattered -- Despair -- Faith -- Renewal.The widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle shares their private journey, a moving and universal chronicle of love and family, service and patriotism, grief and sacrifice, faith and purpose.Though Chris and Taya Kyle's marriage had its difficult moments, it was always a love story. Together they'd endured military service, a bestselling book, unexpected fame, and a film deal starring a hot Hollywood actor. But just when Taya thought that she and Chris were finally going to live their dream together, her husband was murdered. In the wake of his death, a grieving Taya was left to raise her two young children and handle the many things Chris left behind: the business, the book, the movie, and a myriad of legal issues. Matching the straightforward, soul-baring style of American Sniper, Taya talks with honesty about the trials and triumphs of her life with -- and without Chris -- the sleepless nights as a military spouse, the exhilaration as her husband was lionized, the quiet moments when family sheltered them from the madness of fame, the joy of discovering her own purpose in harmony with Chris's own legacy. In American Wife, she recounts the struggles and looks toward the future, revealing the intimate story of her marriage and the inspirations that have given her strength. She speaks out on the effects of fame, both good and bad, and provides a road map for others faced with difficulties, big and small.Preface: The longest day -- Love -- War -- Fame -- Shattered -- Despair -- Faith -- Renewal.- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Kyle, Taya, 1974-; Kyle, Chris, 1974-2013.; Widows; Navy spouses; Murder victims' families; Celebrities; United States.

- American sniper : [electronic resource] : The autobiography of the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. by Kyle, Chris.; Pruden, John.;
Narrator: John Pruden.From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 291444 KB).- Subjects: Electronic books.; Kyle, Chris, 1974-2013.; United States.
