An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love: The True Story of the Best Gift Ever Given

Richard Carlson's sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and e-mails couldn't erase the loss felt by his wife and partner, Kristine. To assuage her grief, she pored over a quarter century's supply of love letters, reliving the emotions and cherishing her late husband's memory. In a profoundly moving act of healing, she focused on one letter full of particularly apt questions, which Richard had given to her on their eighteenth anniversary, and answered these questions with keen insight and fresh passion. Kris offers her heartfelt response to Richard's moving letter.

Both an intimate look inside a special relationship and a gift to the many people whose lives were changed by Richard's work, An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love will have readers everywhere wondering how they themselves would answer the question: if you had one hour to live, what would you do, and who would you call?

An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love is inspiring and uplifting, and shows the importance of treasuring each day as the incredible gift that it is.
