Synopsis

Richard Carlson's Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series has been an incredible hit, with over 9 million copies of the original book and over 16 million copies of the entire series in print. Sadly, Richard died unexpectedly in December 2006 at the age of 45. Now Kristine Carlson has created an incredibly moving book in memory of her beloved husband, including Richard's love letter to Kristine on their eighteenth wedding anniversary. The letter answers the questions, "If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would it be to, what would you say, and why are you waiting?" Kristine responds to this letter in the second half of the book.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would you call? What would you say? And why are you waiting?

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.
