Kim and Krickitt Carpenter had been married for only ten weeks when a high-speed car accident left Krickitt in a coma with severe brain trauma. Upon waking, she suffered from retrograde amnesia, losing all memory of the previous eighteen months. She did not recognize Kim, had no recollection of their wedding, and felt no emotional connection to her husband. This account documents their effort to rebuild their relationship from nothing. Guided by their Christian faith and the literal interpretation of their marriage vows, Kim remained by Krickitt’s side while she relearned basic motor skills and struggled with personality changes. They eventually chose to court each other again and renewed their vows three years later.
This book serves readers interested in Christian memoirs regarding marriage and crisis management. It attracts people seeking a practical example of how religious commitments function when emotional attraction disappears. Readers find a narrative focused on the discipline of keeping a promise rather than the fluctuations of romantic feelings. They walk away with a perspective on biblical marriage that prioritizes theological obligation and daily persistence over personal memory or individual preference.
Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.
