In this memoir that inspired a feature film starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams, when Kim Carpenter places an order for a jacket with a customer service representative named Krickitt, he has no idea that he’s just met his wife-to-be. But shortly after the couple’s wedding, a car wreck robs Krickitt of her memory, including meeting and falling in love with Kim. Despite this, Kim and Krickitt stay together and manage to fall in love a second time. John McLain narrates in a rich, sonorous voice and ably captures the essence of Kim, conveying his deep religiosity and love for Krickitt. However, McLain is less successful when he performs Krickitt—a woman who is said to sound very much like her namesake insect—sounding distinctly and distractingly male and making the dynamic between the deeply religious couple at best awkward and at worst comical. A B&H paperback. (Apr.)
Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition two months after their marriage when*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, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again. The Vow tells the true story of this journey, one of a commitment unbroken and a vow fulfilled. Includes an exclusive interview with Kim & Krickitt Carpenter!
