Wednesday, June 1st 12 pm EST - Kristine Carlson, author of Heart-Broken Open June 1, 2011

Kris Carlson had an idyllic life. She and her husband Richard had a romantic marriage, two beautiful daughters, and—thanks to the success of Richard’s bestselling Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff series—all of the comforts of the American Dream.

But on December 13, 2006, that perfect story took a sudden and heartbreaking turn when, on a typical flight to New York, a pulmonary embolism would take Richards life; catapulting Kris into heartbreak and uncertainty.

It was the end of life as Kris knew it, and the beginning of a journey through the depths of grief and mourning that would reveal to Kris her true strength and an immeasurable love that cannot be broken.

This book is a courageously honest memoir. It is the true story of a wife, a mother, a woman forced to come face to face with fear, insecurity, and the painful but ultimately precious teachings Kris Carlson discovered along the way.

This wise little book offers a timeless message of inspiration, empowerment, and courage for anyone that has experienced and endured any kind of loss or hardship.
