Description
Kyle Carpenter's remarkable memoir reveals a central truth: life is worth everything we've got. On November 21, 2010, Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter made an unforgettable act of selfless heroism in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, sacrificing his own body to save his fellow Marine. Severely wounded, Kyle underwent dozens of surgeries and spent almost three years in and out of the hospital to rebuild his life. From the brink of death, Kyle emerged as a stronger, better, wiser person. In 2014, he was awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his singular act of courage. This memoir is a testament to Kyle's remarkable journey, a story of rebirth and joyful purpose. Through his remarkable story, Kyle shares a powerful message that will resonate with readers: life is precious, and it's worth fighting for.
