Living Smart and Well: Heart-Broken Open

Inez Bracy interviews Kris Carlson, a woman forced to come face to face with fear, insecurity, and the painful but ultimately precious teachings discovered along the way. Kris 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 and offers a timeless message of inspiration, empowerment, and courage for anyone that has experienced and endured any kind of loss or hardship.
